Effect of hypertonic dialysate and vasodilators on peritoneal dialysis clearances in the rat

Abstract: A model for performing peritoneal dialysis in the rat was established which permitted the consistent measurement of dialysis clearances. The effects on urea and inulin clearances of interperitoneal vasodilators and 4.25% dextrose were compared. Isoproterenol, nitroprusside, histamine, and bradykinin, when added to 1.5% dextrose dialysate for three consecutive exchanges, all produced approximately a 20% increase in urea and inulin dialysis clearances. These increases in clearances persisted in the three subsequ… Show more

“…However, local vasodilation due to vasoactivity of this drug, as with other vasoactive sub stances [11][12][13], only explains the proportional increase of small and large solute clearances, while the effect of increased permeability can be disregarded as this leads to opposite results from those of this experiment [14][15][16][17][18]. Therefore, the only possible explanation for these results is the dialysate factor.…”

“…When vasodilators such as nitroprusside, isoproterenol, histamine, and bradykinin are added to the dialysate in animals and in man [12.21.22], the clearance of both small and large-size solutes is increased. While Nolph has found a proportion ally higher increment in large than in small-size molecules, our studies in both the rat [12] and humans [22] show a proportional increase in the clearances of small and largesize solutes. Therefore, nitroprusside may enhance peri toneal clearance by increasing the number of pores avail able for solute exchange and thereby increase the effective pore area of the membrane.…”

“…However, other factors are probably operating as well. In our animal studies [12], 4.25% dextrose solution resulted in enhanced urea clearance during hypertonicexchanges and. despite a fall in osmolar gradient, in the following three isotonic exchanges, suggesting that the mechanism for increased clearance is related not solely to increased convective forces, but to a change in the mem brane surface area or resistance characteristics.…”

“…[31] In one study in rabbits, a adrenergic stimulus with norepinephrine decreased urea and creatinine clearance, but the authors did not mention about drainage volume. [32] b-receptor stimulus with intraperitoneal isoproterenol increased the urea and creatinine clearance in rats, [33] but did not affect drainage volume in rabbits [34] and dogs. [35] In our study, the use of carvedilol, an antagonist of a1-and b-adrenergic receptors, had no significant effect on D/P cr ratio at 0, 2, and 4 hours; D/Do glucose ratios at 2 and 4 hours; and UF.…”
