Regulation of renal hemodynamics after protein feeding: effects of proximal and distal diuretics

The purpose of these studies was to compare the effects of proximally and distally acting diuretics on the renal hemodynamic response to protein feeding to determine the importance of the proximal tubule in postprandial renal vasodilation. In chronically instrumented conscious dogs, a meat meal (10 g/kg raw beef) caused glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to increase from 63 +/- 5 to 87 +/- 10 ml/min and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) to increase from 189 +/- 20 to 249 +/- 20 ml/min, while plasma alpha-amino nitrogen levels rose from 4.0 +/- 0.1 to 6.8 +/- 0.4 mg/dl. Administration of amiloride (0.2 mg/kg + 0.003 mg.kg-1.min-1) or potassium canrenoate (1.76 mg/kg + 1.76 mg.kg-1.h-1), diuretics that act in the distal tubule, had no effect on the renal hemodynamic responses to a meat meal. However, the normal renal hemodynamic responses to protein feeding were abolished during administration of a diuretic that acts in the proximal tubule, acetazolamide (20 mg/kg + 20 mg.kg-1.h-1), although plasma alpha-amino nitrogen levels increased after the meat meal in all experiments. These data suggest that normal proximal tubular sodium reabsorptive function is necessary for acute protein-stimulated renal vasodilation and are consistent with the hypothesis that a tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism may mediate postprandial renal vasodilation.
