Abstract
1. Micropuncture and clearance experiments in two-kidney, one-clip renal vascular hypertensive rats examined the ability of the kidney contralateral to renal vascular stenosis to maintain renal function during conditions of reduced renal arterial blood pressure. 2. At their respective spontaneous blood pressures, renal vascular resistance was higher and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal blood flow were not different in the contralateral kidneys of the hypertensive rats (170 +/- 5 mmHg) compared with normal animals (129 +/- 1 mmHg). Urine flow and absolute and fractional excretion of electrolyte were greater from the kidneys of the hypertensive animals. However, pressures in cortical structures were similar in the two groups. 3. As blood pressure was reduced acutely, the kidney contralateral to the renal artery stenosis achieved only small decreases in renal vascular resistance that failed to allow GFR, renal blood flow or pressures in cortical structures to be maintained. In contrast, normal rats efficiently autoregulated renal vascular resistance to allow GFR, renal blood flow and cortical pressures to be unchanged as blood pressure was altered between 130 and 115 mmHg. Urine flow and electrolyte excretion decreased to a greater extent in the hypertensive kidneys; at comparable blood pressure these indices of excretory function were not different in the two groups. 4. These observations indicate that the contralateral kidney can maintain normal haemodynamic and glomerular function only at elevated blood pressure and suggest the possibility that the impaired capacity to autoregulate renal resistances may contribute to the maintenance of hypertension observed in this model.

Abstract
We used a model of ischemic acute renal failure featuring normal renal blood flow (RBF) to evaluate the autoregulatory capability in a preparation having a marked reduction of inulin clearance (GFR). In 10 dogs, we clamped the renal artery for 90 min (experimental); 6 dogs, 1 min only (sham). Approximately 18 hours later, we determined the autoregulatory ability from RBF responses to renal arterial constriction. GFR of the experimental dogs was 10 +/- 4 ml/min, significantly lower than GFR in the sham dogs (43 /+- 9 ml/min). RBF in the experimental dogs (189 +/- 17 ml/min) was not significantly different from that in the sham dogs (206 +/- 32). An autoregulation index, ranging from 0.49 to 1.09 (mean 0.690), was significantly larger than was that of sham dogs, which ranged from zero to 0.23 (mean 0.060). At control arterial pressures, vascular resistance was comparable in both groups; however, at reduced arterial pressures below the normal autoregulatory range, average resistance of the experimental dogs (0.62 +/- 0.12 mm Hg/[ml/min]) was significantly greater than was that of the sham dogs (0.38 +/- 0.06 mm Hg/[ml/min]). These studies indicate that a substantial loss of renal hemodynamic responsiveness follows ischemic injury to the dog even when RBF is maintained within the normal range. The loss of autoregulatory capacity associated with a severely attenuated GFR is consistent with a role for tubular flow in the normal mechanism of autoregulation.

Abstract
Experiments were done in normal rats to assess kidney, single nephron, and tubuloglomerular feedback responses during renin-angiotensin blockade with the converting enzyme inhibitor (CEI) SQ 20881 (E. R. Squibb & Sons, Princeton, N. Y.) (3 mg/kg, per h). Converting enzyme inhibition was documented by complete blockade of vascular responses to infusions of angiotensin I (600 ng/kg). Control plasma renin activity was 12.5+/-2.7 ng angiotensin I/ml per h (mean+/-SEM) and increased sevenfold with CEI (n = 7). There were parallel increases in glomerular filtration rate from 1.08+/-0.05 to 1.26+/-0.05 ml/min and renal blood flow from 6.7+/-0.4 to 7.5+/-0.5 ml/min. During CEI infusion absolute and fractional sodium excretion were increased 10-fold. Proximal tubule and peritubular capillary pressures were unchanged. Single nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) was measured from both proximal and distal tubule collections; SNGFR based only on distal collections was significantly increased by CEI. A significant difference was observed between SNGFR values measured from proximal and distal tubule sites (6.0+/-1.6 nl/min) and this difference remained unchanged after CEI administration. Slight decreases in fractional absorption were suggested at micropuncture sites beyond the late proximal tubule, whereas early distal tubule flow rate was augmented by CEI. Tubuloglomerular feedback activity was assessed by measuring changes in proximal tubule stop-flow pressure (SFP) or SNGFR in response to alterations in orthograde microperfusion rate from late proximal tubule sites. During control periods, SFP was decreased 11.2+/-0.4 mm Hg when the perfusion rate was increased to 40 nl/min; during infusion of CEI, the same increase in perfusion rate resulted in a SFP decrement of 6.7+/-0.5 mm Hg (P<.001). When late proximal tubule perfusion rate was increased from 0 to 30 nl/min, SNGFR was decreased by 15.0+/-1.2 nl/min during control conditions, and by 11.3+/-1.3 nl/min during CEI infusion. Attenuation of feedback responsiveness during CEI was also observed at lower perfusion rates with both techniques. These results indicate that blockade of the renin-angiotensin system with CEI reduces the activity of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism which may mediate the observed renal vasodilation.

Abstract
It has been suggested that intrarenal levels of angiotensin II may preferentially control efferent arteriolar resistance or may influence the glomerular filtration coefficient (Kf). To examine these possibilities, micropuncture and clearance experiments were performed on nine anesthetized dogs evaluating renal and glomerular hemodynamics before and during the administration of an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (SQ20,881). During the micropuncture measurements, renal arterial pressure was reduced to range of 85 to 90 mm Hg in order to maximize renin secretion and intrarenal formation of angiotensin II. Also, this procedure minimizes potential errors in the determination of single nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) and of glomerular pressure when estimated by techniques that require complete blockade of proximal tubule fluid flow. During the administration of SQ20,881, a converting enzyme inhibitor (CEI), renal blood flow increased significantly by 13%, but GFR was not altered. There were no significant alterations in SNGFR, proximal tubule pressure, peritubular capillary pressure or estimated glomerular pressure. By using the micropressure measurements in combination with the whole kidney hemodynamic data, it was estimated that afferent resistance was reduced 23%. Although significant decreases in efferent resistance could not be documented, there was a tendency for this variable to decrease also. Neither Kf nor effective filtration pressure were altered significantly by CEI. These results do not support the contention that intrarenal effects of angiotensin II are exerted predominantly on the efferent arteriolar resistance segments; rather, they suggest that angiotensin may exert a modest tonic effect on both pre- and postglomerular resistance elements in the anesthetized hydropenic dog.

Abstract
To determine if the glomerular filtration coefficient (Kf) of the dog is influenced by changes in plasma colloid osmotic pressure (COP), we conducted micropuncture experiments in dogs given concentrated albumin solutions. In one group (N = 9), filtration dynamics were evaluated following infusion of 450 to 600 ml of a 25% bovine albumin solution. To minimize the effects of acute volume expansion, we also achieved high COP levels in another group (N = 7) by albumin loading on the day prior to the experiment. In all experiments, renal arterial pressure was reduced to approximately 90 mm Hg to minimize potential errors that might lead to overestimation of single nephron filtration rate (SNGFR) and glomerular pressure (GP). In the acutely expanded dogs, COP increased to 23.0 +/- (SEM) 0.9 mm Hg, SNGFR was 59 +/- 6 nl/min, estimated GP was 61.0 +/- 2.0 mm Hg, proximal tubule pressure (PTP) was 23.0 +/- 1.6 mm Hg, and superficial filtration fraction (SFF) was 0.13 +/- 0.02. A similarly reduced whole kidney filtration fraction was also observed, due almost entirely to a marked increase in renal blood flow. When compared to noninfused control dogs (N = 13), Kf was significantly higher in the dogs with elevated COP, being 5.3 +/- 0.6 nl/min/mm Hg as compared to 3.4 +/- 0.3 nl/min/mm Hg. Average effective filtration pressure (EFP) was 12 +/- 1mm Hg, and EFP at the efferent end of the glomerular capillaries was 8.9 +/- 1.2 mm Hg. In the group infused on the prior day, COP was 20.0 +/- 0.8 mm Hg, SFF was 0.26 +/- 0.01, SNGFR was 70 +/-8 nl/min, GP was 59 +/- 2 mm Hg, and PTP was 19.0 +/- 1.5 mm Hg. Average EFP was 15 +/- 1 mm Hg, and EFP at the efferent end of the capillaries was 7.5 +/- 0.7 mm Hg. kf was 4.85 +/- 0.66 nl/min/mm Hg, a value significantly higher than that obtained in control dogs having a COP of 15.0 +/- 0.6 mm Hg. Furthermore, one group of control dogs (N = 4), expanded with an isooncotic albumin solution, did not exhibit significant changes in Kf even though the degree of plasma volume expansion was similar to the group expanded with concentrated albumin solution. These experiments are consistent with previous findings obtained in the rat that Kf is influenced by the COP, although the changes in Kf appear to be less than they are in the rat. The data indicate that even under these conditions of elevated COP, the filtration process in the dog is characterized by positive filtration pressures throughout the length of the glomerular capillaries.

Abstract
The phenomenon of renal autoregulation is often thought to relate only to the manner in which the kidney responds to changes in arterial pressure. This review presents a more comprehensive description of the process based on the intrinsic renal vascular responses to changes in arterial pressure, venous pressure, ureteral pressure, and plasma colloid osmotic pressure. Regulation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), or some function thereof, is the feature most consistently observed. More specifically, in response to external manipulations that change GFR, autonomous changes in renal vascular resistance tend to return GFR back towards normal. The bulk of the evidence suggests that the requisite renal vascular resistance alterations occur predominately at preglomerular segments. Most of the whole kidney autoregulatory responses can be explained on the basis of the distal tubule-glomerular feedback hypothesis, thought to be mediated by the macula densa-juxtaglomerular complex, which states that increases in distal volume delivery lead to increases in afferent arteriolar resistance while reduced distal delivery leads to afferent arteriolar dilation. Micropuncture data have demonstrated that interruption of distal volume delivery prevents single nephrons from autoregulating GFR and glomerular pressure. Also, single nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) based on proximal collections is higher than SNGFR measured by distal collections or with an indicator-dilution technique. Studies utilized direct microperfusion of the distal nephron from a late proximal tubule site have demonstrated that SNGFR and glomerular pressure decrease in response to increases in distal nephron perfusion rate. Although experiments in rats have been interpreted as indicating that distal chloride concentration and/or reabsorption most likely mediate the feedback responses, recent studies in dogs have demonstrated that feedback responses can be consistently obtained with nonelectrolyte perfusion solutions. These latter studies suggest that the feedback response may be sensitive to some function of total solute delivery or concentration. At present, there is no clear understanding of the intracellular events that link the compositional alterations occurring within the early distal tubule to the final effector system.

Abstract
Experiments were performed to evaluate the influence of the distal tubular feedback mechanism on glomerular function in the dog. Single nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) and stop-flow pressure (SFP) were measured from early segments of proximal tubules during alterations in distal perfusion rate (via a late proximal puncture site) and perfusate composition. Perfusion rate (PR) was varied from 16 to 68 nl/min with a microperfusion pump. The intermediate segment of the nephron was blocked with a solid wax cast, thus preventing retrograde influences of the microperfusion procedure. During perfusion with an ultrafiltrate of plasma and an artificial tubular fluid solution (ATF), SNGFR decreased from 63 +/- 2.6 (SE) nl/min at a PR of 16 nl/min to 20 +/- 2.4 nl/min at a PR of 63 +/- 2.6 nl/min. At a PR of 16 nl/min, SFP was 48 +/- 1.3 mmHg with ultrafiltrate and ATF. Increases in PR to 68 nl/min led to a reduction in SFP to 26 +/- 1.5 mmHg. SFP was also measured during changes in PR with various electrolyte solutions of decreasing complexity. Elimination or substitution of Na+, K+, Cl-, HCO3-, and Ca2+ did not significantly alter the magnitude of the feedback response to increases in PR to 68 nl/min. These results confirm the existence of a feedback system in the dog capable of adjusting glomerular function in response to changes in distal perfusion rate. The results based on the various perfusion solutions fail to indicate a unique requirement for any specific component.

Abstract
Micropuncture studies were conducted in anesthetized dogs to evaluate single nephron glomerular filtrate rate (SNGFR) and SNGFR autoregulation when assessed by means of an indicator-dilution technique (SNGFRID), which does not require interruption of distal volume delivery. In 18 dogs, control renal arterial pressure was 124 +/- 11 mmHg (SD), renal blood flow (RBF) was 185 +/- 58 ml/min, and whole kidney GRF was 37 +/- 7 ml/min. SNGFRID averaged 57 +/- 15 nl/min and was significantly lower than SNGFR determined on the basis of total collections (SNGFRTC) from proximal tubules (75 +/- 17 nl/min). However, SNGFRID was not significantly different from the overall average SNGFR of 62 +/- 12 nl/min estimated from whole kidney GFR and the total number of glomeruli (613,000 +/- 74,000). In 10 animals, renal arterial pressure was reduced to an average of 94 +/- 8 mmHg; whole kidney autoregulation was highly efficient and average RBF and GRF remained within 1 and 3% of their control values. Likewise, SNGFRID was not significantly altered at 52 +/- 17 and 52 +/- 16 nl/min. In contrast, SNGFRTC decreased significantly from 72 +/- 17 to 51 +/- 13 nl/min. These results indicate that the indicator-dilution technique provides a reliable assessment of SNGFR and allows the manifestation of single nephron autoregulatory behavior. They provide further support for the hypothesis that maintenance of distal volume delivery may be a necessary aspect of the autoregulation phenomenon.

Abstract
This study was done to establish the correct relationship between protein concentration and plasma colloid osmotic pressure in the dog and to determine the possible influence of the relative albumin and globulin content (A:G ratio). Plasma samples from dogs, rats, and humans were evaluated for total protein concentration, globulin concentration, and colloid osmotic pressure. Samples were concentrated and diluted by ultrafiltration to provide a range of total protein concentrations from 1 to 12 g/dl. Rat and human plasma samples had A:G ratios of 1.4 and 2.1, respectively, and the relationship between protein concentration and colloid osmotic pressure was in agreement with the Landis-Pappenheimer equation. In contrast, dog plasma samples consistently exhibited lower colloid osmotic pressures for any given protein concentration. Two forms of empirical equations were derived to relate these parameters in the dog. Dog plasma samples had higher concentrations of globulin and the A:G ratio averaged 0.59 +/- 0.35 SD. There was a significant relationship between the A:G ratio and the plasma colloid osmotic pressure. Analysis of the possible effect of this altered relationship on glomerular filtration dynamics predicted that efferent plasma colloid osmotic pressure was not specifically affected and was dependent only on the filtration fraction and the plasma colloid osmotic pressure.

Abstract
Micropuncture studies in dogs have suggested that a distal tubule-to-afferent arteriole feedback system may participate in the autoregulation mechanism at the single-nephron level. To evaluate the effect of interrupted distal delivery on glomerular capillary pressure (GP) and its autoregulation, the proximal tubule was blocked with oil and maximal stop-flow pressure was measured with a micropressure servo-null system. The GP was estimated from the sum of stop-flow pressure and the plasma colloid osmotic pressure (membrane oncometer). In 18 dogs given a mild mannitol load, average +/- SD control arterial pressure was 118 +/- 16 mmHg, proximal tubule pressure was 24 +/- 5 mmHg, and estimated GP averaged 70 +/- 10 mmHg. There was a highly significant relationship between estimated GP and arterial blood pressure. Similar results were obtained in hydropenic dogs. In response to decreases in renal arterial pressure in individual dogs, stop-flow pressure and estimated GP failed to exhibit autoregulation although autoregulation of renal blood flow, GFR, and proximal tubule pressure was observed over an arterial pressure range of 150-95 mmHg. These results indicate that interruption of normal distal delivery by proximal tubule blockage interferes with the ability of the nephron to autoregulate glomerular pressure. They provide further evidence in support of the concept that a distal tubular feedback mechanism participates, at least in part, in the autoregulatory control of glomerular pressure.

Abstract
Renal clearance and recollection micro-puncture experiments were conducted to evaluate the possible role of a distal tubular feedback mechanism in the phenomenon of renal autoregulation in dogs. Single nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) was measured from collection sites in both the proximal (proximal SNGFR) and distal tubules (distal SNGFR). Single nephron autoregulatory behavior was assessed by evaluating the response of SNGFR to a reduction in renal arterial pressure imposed by means of an aortic constrictor. Whole kidney function was evaluated by parallel measurements of renal blood flow and inulin clearance. Whole kidney autoregulation was observed when renal arterial pressure was decreased from 141 +/- 3 (SE) mm Hg to 101 +/- 2 mm Hg; renal blood flow and GFR were not significantly altered from control values of 3.76 +/- 0.2 ml/min.g and 0.69 +/- 0.04 ml/min.g kidney weight, respectively. In 11 autoregulating preparations, proximal transit time was likewise unchanged from the control value of 26 +/- 2 s, indirectly suggesting that the superficial nephrons also participated in the autoregulatory response. However, proximal SNGFR decreased significantly from 88 +/- 7 nl/min to 66 +/- 6 nl/min, a reduction which was proportional to the decrease in arterial pressure. In 14 dogs in which both proximal SNGFR and distal SNGFR were measured at control blood pressure (136 +/- 5 mm Hg), distal SNGFR was 47 +/- 4 nl/min, a value significantly lower than that for proximal SNGFR (79 +/- 6 nl/min). In contrast to the results based upon proximal collections, distal SNGFR was not significantly altered following aortic constriction (44 +/- 5 nl/min vs. 47 +/- 5 nl/min) therefore exhibiting autoregulation in association with that observed for the whole kidney. These experiments indicate that though superficial nephrons do possess autoregulatory capability, interruption of distal delivery due to complete collection from the proximal tubule interferes with that nephron's ability to manifest an autoregulatory response. They support the concept that a feedback mechanism, related to some function of distal delivery, is of significance in the intrinsic regulation of SNGFR. The data further suggest that quantitative estimates of SNGFR based on complete proximal collections may not be representative of those throughout the superficial cortex of the dog, at least in certain experimental circumstances.
