  • Title: Enhanced glomerular filtration and Na+-K+-ATPase with furosemide administration.
    Author: Scherzer P, Wald H, Popovtzer MM.
    Journal: Am J Physiol; 1987 May; 252(5 Pt 2):F910-5. PubMed ID: 3034078.
    Abstract:
    To evaluate the effect of furosemide on kidney function, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), urinary Na excretion (UNaV), Na reabsorption (NAR), and Na+-K+-ATPase in isolated nephron segments were measured in 1) rats treated with furosemide 10 mg X 100 g-1 X 24 h-1 ip for 7 days, and 2) rats receiving an oral Na load for 12 days. In furosemide-treated rats, GFR rose from 0.61 +/- 0.03 (mean +/- SD) to 0.83 +/- 0.06 ml/min (P less than 0.01), UNaV rose from 904 +/- 71 to 1,402 +/- 85 mueq/day (P less than 0.001), and net NAR rose from 87.5 +/- 3.7 to 116.7 +/- 9.0 mueq/min (P less than 0.01). Na+-K+-ATPase remained unchanged in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), proximal straight tubule (PST), cortical thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (cTALH), and medullary thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (mTALH), but was increased in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and in cortical collecting duct (CCD) from 48.5 +/- 1.2 to 75.3 +/- 0.7 (P less than 0.001) and from 18.6 +/- 0.7 to 27.1 +/- 2.7 (P less than 0.02) X 10(-11) mol X mm-1 X min-1, respectively. In Na-loaded rats GFR rose from 0.61 +/- 0.04 to 0.86 +/- 0.03 ml/min (P less than 0.001), UNaV rose from 1,064 +/- 118 to 18,532 +/- 2,045 mueq/day (P less than 0.001), net NAR from 88.1 +/- 3.0 to 107.8 +/- 3.9 mueq/min and Na-K-ATPase in the mTALH rose from 40.3 +/- 1.4 to 56.2 +/- 2.11 (P less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
