Abstract
AbstractRenal sympathetic nerves contribute to renal excretory function during volume expansion. We hypothesized that intact renal innervation is required for excretion of a fluid/electrolyte load in hypertensive chronic kidney disease (CKD) and normotensive healthy settings. Blood pressure, kidney hemodynamic and excretory response to 180 min of isotonic saline loading (0.13 ml/kg/min) were examined in female normotensive (control) and hypertensive CKD sheep at 2 and 11 months after sham (control-intact, CKD-intact) or radiofrequency catheter-based RDN (control-RDN, CKD-RDN) procedure. Basal blood pressure was ~ 7 to 9 mmHg lower at 2, and 11 months in CKD-RDN compared with CKD-intact sheep. Saline loading did not alter glomerular filtration rate in any group. At 2 months, in response to saline loading, total urine and sodium excretion were ~ 40 to 50% less, in control-RDN and CKD-RDN than intact groups. At 11 months, the natriuretic and diuretic response to saline loading were similar between control-intact, control-RDN and CKD-intact groups but sodium excretion was ~ 42% less in CKD-RDN compared with CKD-intact at this time-point. These findings indicate that chronic withdrawal of basal renal sympathetic activity impairs fluid/electrolyte excretion during volume expansion. Clinically, a reduced ability to excrete a saline load following RDN may contribute to disturbances in body fluid balance in hypertensive CKD.
