Abstract:ABSTRACT. Objective: To evaluate the influence of the CO 2 pneumoperitoneum in the glomerular filtration in a rat model with a 2/3 reduction of renal parenchyma. Methods: Adult Wistar male rats (n = 50) were subjected to right nephrectomy and a 2/3 ligature of the renal left vascular branch. Animals were randomly distributed as follows: GI (n = 10) -simulated, GII (n = 20) -8 mm Hg pneumoperitoneum, and GIII (n = 20) -15 mm Hg pneumoperitoneum. After two (GIIA and GIIIA) and three (GIIB and GIIIB) hours of ins… Show more
