  • Title: [The effect of the plasma substitutes hydroxyethyl starch and dextrane-60 on the kidney function of dogs in acute haemorrhagic shock (author's transl)].

    Abstract:
    In 14 dogs during experimentally induced haemorrhagic shock the effects of 6% solutions of hydroxyethyl starch and Dextran-60 were compared. As main parameters of the renal function the arterial and venous pressures, renal blood flow, creatinine-clearance as measure of the glomerular filtration rate, urinary flow rate and urinary excretion of sodium and potassium were estimated. After complete substitution of the lost blood volume both plasma substitutes increased the renal blood flow by 50%. Glomerular filtration rate returned to control values, urinary volume and potassium output increased whereas sodium output decreased slightly. If only 50% of the lost volume was substituted, the renal blood flow and filtration rate remained at or below control values. Hydroxyethyl starch and Dextran-60 proved to be almost equally effective in restoring renal function.
