The effects of 2 hours of renal artery occlusion were studied in previously uninephrectomized rabbits. Oliguric renal failure by arterial clamping was produced. Renal blood flow was maintained during observation periods, except for an early decrease in outer cortical blood flow without change elsewhere. During the oliguric stage medullary osmolality was markedly diminished, concomitantly with reduced (U/P)osm. Cin, EPAH and sodium reabsorption were decreased, accompanied by tubular necrosis and intratubular casts. During the early diuretic stage Cin, medullary osmolality and (U/P)osm were still reduced. Intratubular casts disappeared while regenerated tubular cells were focally observed. Two weeks after the occlusion, improved Cin, EPAH, sodium reabsorption, medullary osmolality and (U/P)osm, and regenerated tubular epithelium were found. In 7 weeks Cin and EPAH had returned to the preclamping values whereas medullary osmolality remained decreased with the appearance of medullary fibrosis. (U/P)osm was not completely restored. The findings indicate that during the oliguric stage of acute renal failure of rabbits renal blood flow is maintained, except for a decrease in outer cortical flow, and urine concentrating ability is restored more slowly than other measured functions.

Adipsic arginine vasopressin deficiency: challenges in managing the intricate interplay of adipsia with polyuria.
BMJ Case Rep

Article Synopsis
- Adipsic arginine vasopressin deficiency (AAVP-D) occurs due to hypothalamic dysfunction, often linked to conditions like craniopharyngiomas, which makes management difficult since key mechanisms for regulating plasma osmolality are impaired.
- Patients with AAVP-D can suffer from severe dehydration and elevated sodium levels (hypernatraemia), leading to frequent emergency visits despite treatment with desmopressin, an arginine vasopressin analogue.
- A case study highlights the successful management of AAVP-D through careful water intake regulation and desmopressin administration, resulting in stable serum sodium levels (140-150 mmol/L) and no emergency visits over a three-month period.
Effects of long-term dehydration and quick rehydration on the camel kidney: pathological changes and modulation of the expression of solute carrier proteins and aquaporins.

Background: Recurrent dehydration causes chronic kidney disease in humans and animal models. The dromedary camel kidney has remarkable capacity to preserve water and solute during long-term dehydration. In this study, we investigated the effects of dehydration and subsequent rehydration in the camel's kidney histology/ultrastructure and changes in aquaporin/solute carrier proteins along with gene expression.

Nephron loop-vessel countercurrent arrangement in the medulla provides the structural basis for the formation of concentrated urine. To date, the morphogenesis of it and relevant water and solutes transportation has not been fully elucidated. In this study, with immunohistochemistry for aquaporins (AQP) and Na-K-2Cl co-transporter (NKCC2), as well as 3D visualization, we noticed in embryonic day 14.

Background: Fibrosis is a common final pathway leading to end-stage renal failure. As the renal medulla and cortex contain different nephron segments, we analyzed the factors associated with the progression of renal medullary and cortical fibrosis.
Methods: A total of 120 patients who underwent renal biopsy at Kawashima Hospital between May 2019 and October 2022 were enrolled in this retrospective study.

Angiotensin-II (Ang-II) production is driven by deviations in blood volume and osmolality, and serves the role of regulating blood pressure and fluid intake to maintain cardiovascular and hydromineral homeostasis. These actions are mediated by Ang-II acting on its type 1a receptor (AT1aR) within the central nervous system and periphery. Of relevance, AT1aR are expressed on sensory afferents responsible for conveying cardiovascular information to the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS).
