Jejunal dopamine and Na,K-ATPase activity in early chronic renal insufficiency.

Aim: The uninephrectomised and three-quarter nephrectomised (3/4nx) rats present dopamine-sensitive enhanced natriuresis. This is accompanied in uninephrectomised rats by a reduced jejunal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity with recovered sensitivity to inhibition by dopamine. The present study examined the jejunal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity and the role of dopamine in 3/4nx animals.
