Abstract
Recovery of renal function is a well-characterized feature of models of acute renal failure; however, more recent studies have reported a predisposition to chronic renal disease. This study sought to determine the susceptibility to sodium-dependent hypertension following recovery from ischemic acute renal failure. Following ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, rats were allowed to recover for 35 days on a 0.4% salt diet, then were switched to 4.0% salt diet for an additional 28 days. Blood pressure was significantly increased in postischemic rats switched to high-sodium diet at day 35 (19 ± 9 mmHg) compared with postischemic rats maintained on low-sodium diet. Plasma renin activity and creatinine clearance were not affected by I/R injury. The ischemic injury combined with transfer to 4.0% salt diet resulted in marked renal hypertrophy characterized by interstitial cellular deposition, tubular dilation, and enhanced rates of albumin excretion. Glomerular structure was altered in post-I/R rats switched to high-sodium diet but not in those maintained on low-sodium diets. When rats were acclimated to high-sodium diet before I/R injury, the early injury was similar to that observed in animals acclimated to low-sodium diet, and these animals progressed rapidly toward chronic kidney disease, as evidenced by advancement of albuminuria. These data suggest that the recovery from acute I/R injury is not complete, compromises Na homeostasis, and predisposes hypertension and secondary renal disease.Keywords
