Abstract
One third of the kidney transplants performed in the USA come from living kidney donors. The long-term outcome of healthy individuals who donate kidneys is mostly excellent, although recent studies have suggested that living donation is associated with a small absolute increase in the risk of end stage renal failure. Much of our understanding about the progression of kidney disease comes from experimental models of nephron loss. For this reason, living kidney donation has long been of great interest to renal physiologists. This review will summarize the determinants of glomerular filtration and the physiology that underlies post-donation hyperfiltration. We describe the 'remnant kidney' model of kidney disease and the reasons why such progressive kidney disease very rarely ensues in healthy humans following uninephrectomy. We also review some of the methods used to determine glomerular number and size and outline their associations.

Abstract
The effect of preexisting hypertension on living donor nephron number has not been established. In this study, we determined the association between preexisting donor hypertension and glomerular number and volume and assessed the effect of predonation hypertension on postdonation BP, adaptive hyperfiltration, and compensatory glomerular hypertrophy. We enrolled 51 living donors to undergo physiologic, morphometric, and radiologic evaluations before and after kidney donation. To estimate the number of functioning glomeruli (NFG), we divided the whole-kidney ultrafiltration coefficient (Kf) by the single-nephron ultrafiltration coefficient (SNKf). Ten donors were hypertensive before donation. We found that, in donors ages >50 years old, preexisting hypertension was associated with a reduction in NFG. In a comparison of 10 age- and sex-matched hypertensive and normotensive donors, we observed more marked glomerulopenia in hypertensive donors (NFG per kidney, 359,499±128,929 versus 558,239±205,152; P=0.02). Glomerulopenia was associated with a nonsignificant reduction in GFR in the hypertensive group (89±12 versus 95±16 ml/min per 1.73 m(2)). We observed no difference in the corresponding magnitude of postdonation BP, hyperfiltration capacity, or compensatory renocortical hypertrophy between hypertensive and normotensive donors. Nevertheless, we propose that the greater magnitude of glomerulopenia in living kidney donors with preexisting hypertension justifies the need for long-term follow-up studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Decline in renal and cognitive function may complicate early recovery after coronary-artery bypass grafting. AT(1)-receptor antagonists have been demonstrated to be neuro- and renoprotective. Aim of ARTA, a prospective, double-blind, randomised and placebo controlled study, was to detect whether preoperative treatment with candesartan influences postoperative cognitive and renal function. STUDY PROTOCOL One hundred and five patients eligible for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (65-85 years old, all suffering from hypertension and coronary artery disease, with stable kidney function) were randomized to candesartan (8 mg od) or placebo for between 8 and 11 days prior to surgery. Existing ACE-inhibitor/angiotensin receptor antagonist-therapy had to be stopped prior to the study. Validated cognitive function tests (trail making, Horn's perfomance III und VI, divided attention and change of reaction, memory - immediate and delayed recall, digit span) were performed preoperatively, 1 week and 3 months after surgery. Renal function was assessed by creatinine clearance on the day before, 1 week and 3 months after surgery. RESULTS Eighty-seven patients (n = 43 Candesartan, n = 44 placebo) were included in the ITT-population for analysis. Drug treatment had no adverse effect on perioperative blood pressure. Only five patients experienced a period of hypotension during introduction of anaesthesia (Candesartan 1/44, placebo 4/44). One week as well as three months after surgery, there were no differences in relevant cognitive function parameters compared to the status prior to surgery, independent from treatment. Creatinine clearance showed a clear decrease one week after surgery with a minor further reduction observed 3 months after surgery, but there was no difference between Candesartan and placebo treated patients. Between both groups, there were no significant differences in the number of adverse events and number of patients with adverse events nor in the incidence of renal failure with consecutive dialysis and cerebral strokes (candesartan 2, placebo 5) and possibly drug related severe adverse events. CONCLUSION This randomised placebo-controlled and prospective study in elderly patients does not support previous reports suggesting a substantial impairment of cognitive function after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Preservation of cognitive and renal function was independent of pre-surgical administration of candesartan.

Abstract
It is well known that the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) influences renal function and occasionally results in renal failure following cardiac surgery. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) without CPB may avoid this and preserve the perioperative renal function. The present study enrolled 52 patients undergoing CABG without CPB (OPCAB group) and matched them for renal function and prognostic variables with 53 patients undergoing conventional CABG (CABG group). Perioperative renal function and early clinical results were assessed. The OPCAB group had significantly less increase in creatinine levels (0.16 +/- 0.05 vs 0.45 +/- 0.06 mg/dl; p = 0.01) and greater creatinine clearance (81.6 +/- 7.3 vs 56.3 +/- 4.8ml/min; p = 0.01) postoperatively. Postoperative recovery of free water clearance was more prompt in the OPCAB group. The duration of intubation and intensive care unit stay was significantly shorter, and the creatine kinase-MB release and blood transfusion requirements were significantly less in the OPCAB group. The OPCAB technique preserved glomerular filtration rate and prevented the increase in creatinine levels. The results suggest that the technique enables earlier patient recovery and gives superior renal protection compared with conventional CABG.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Acute renal failure, which is a serious complication following open heart surgery, has a high mortality rate. Previous reports have shown that the calcium antagonist diltiazem is beneficial either as an adjunct to cardioplegic solution or perioperative treatment for preservation of postoperative cardiovascular function. We studied the effects of diltiazem on renal function, plasma atrial natriuretic peptide levels, and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS Diltiazem was administered, 0.1 mg/kg, in a bolus injection followed by continuous infusion at a rate of 2 micrograms/kg/min during surgery, and 30 mg through a nasogastric tube at every 8 h. Hemodynamics, renal function, and plasma hormone levels were measured in the diltiazem-treated group (n = 13) and the nontreated group (n = 10). RESULTS Heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and systemic vascular resistance index in the diltiazem-treated group were significantly lower than those in the nontreated group following cardiopulmonary bypass. Urine volume, creatinine clearance, and free water clearance were well preserved in the diltiazem-treated group. However, plasma renin activity and aldosterone levels were significantly higher in the diltiazem-treated group with the same changes in plasma atrial natriuretic peptide levels. CONCLUSION Perioperative treatment with diltiazem has a beneficial effect on postoperative renal function, and reflex sympathetic activation induced by peripheral vasodilation activated the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Abstract
Because of inappropriate signals from the volume-regulation system and a reduction in renal blood flow, the kidney is not able to prevent sodium and water retention in chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). A brief summary of normal renal function and renal involvement in CHF is given and a study of renal function in patients with moderate or severe chronic CHF is presented. To evaluate the impact of cardiac output reduction on the regulation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in heart failure, GFR (inulin clearance), renal plasma flow [p-aminohippurate (PAH) clearance], invasive haemodynamics, blood volume, plasma renin and plasma catecholamines were measured in 34 patients with chronic CHF. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to their cardiac index (CI): CI greater than 2.0 L/min/m2 (group A), CI 1.5 to 2.0 L/min/m2 (group B), and CI less than 1.5 L/min/m2 (group C). Differences in the relationship between GFR, renal plasma flow and filtration fraction for the 3 groups emerged. Despite an intergroup reduction in the renal fraction of cardiac output and renal blood flow, GFR was similar in groups A and B (62 and 67 ml/min/1.73 m2, respectively), and was accompanied by a compensatory increase in filtration fraction, from 24% in group A to 35% in group B. Group C had a much lower GFR (38 ml/min/1.73 m2), however, the filtration fraction (28%) was intermediate in value between those of groups A and B. The differences in GFR were reflected by blood urea nitrogen levels but not by serum creatinine levels. The occurrence of a non-compensatory filtration fraction response in the patients with the greatest impairment of CI and renal blood flow suggests that GFR becomes dependent on afferent arteriolar flow in the most severe heart failure, despite stimulation of haemodynamic and hormonal pathways, which would normally increase efferent arteriolar tone. It is thus suggested that GFR becomes flow dependent in patients in the most severe stage of chronic CHF.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the factor(s) that characterize impaired glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in congestive heart failure (CHF) patients. We studied 34 patients, measuring systemic hemodynamics, vasoactive hormones, and sodium and volume status. Renal plasma flow (para-aminohippurate) and GFR (inulin) were assessed by steady-state clearance techniques. Both linear and multiple regression analyses were performed. Impaired GFR was characterized by reduction of renal blood flow and renal fraction of cardiac output, and by an increase of renal vascular resistance. The correlation between GFR and filtration fraction (r = 0.492, P less than 0.003) indicated that individuals with greatest impairment of GFR had the lowest filtration fraction and increased overall renal vascular resistance, indicating dependence of GFR on afferent, rather than efferent vasoconstriction, under conditions of low renal perfusion. Mean vasoactive hormones and blood volume were increased, but without clear cut correlation with GFR. The greatest impairment of GFR was observed in elderly CHF patients, as renal blood flow and function demonstrated an age-dependent decline, in addition to the adverse effects of CHF. In a multiple regression model, renal blood flow and filtration fraction accounted for 69% and 25%, respectively, of the variability of GFR, with a co-linear influence of age. Thus, we have identified age-related, abnormal renal hemodynamic patterns in CHF, and the fragile nature of GFR in the elderly CHF population.

Abstract
This study describes the development of an experimental model of reversible acute renal failure following infusion of contrast media radiographic dye. Experiments were also performed to investigate possible methods of prevention as well as examine single nephron mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of the renal failure. Acute renal failure was consistently produced by indomethacin treatment (18 mg/kg) and an intravenous infusion of contrast media (7 ml/kg) into New Zealand rabbits that had been on a low sodium diet for one week. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), measured by daily creatinine clearance in unanesthetized animals, was significantly decreased (P less than 0.001) 24, 48, and 72 hours following infusion of the contrast dye. Two weeks after induction of acute renal failure, GFR had returned to control. GFR was unchanged during the same time period when the sodium deprived rabbits were given either indomethacin or contrast media alone. Chronic administration of DOCA (1 mg/kg s.c.) and saline drinking water which increased sodium and solute excretions and decreased plasma renin activity also prevented the decrease in GFR. However, acute infusion of either saline or mannitol, which transiently increased sodium and solute excretions and decreased plasma renin activity, did not protect against the development of acute renal failure. Light microscopy revealed no glomerular or tubular changes and no visible obstruction. Micropuncture experiments were performed on three additional groups of anesthetized rabbits: control, acute renal failure, and recovery. Recovery rabbits were allowed a two week period after renal failure before they were micropunctured.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
In the present study, the pathophysiologic role of glomerular hemodynamic factors in the early phase of HgCl2-induced acute renal failure is evaluated in the dog. This model of moderate ARF is characterized by a parallel fall in glomerular filtration rate (delta GFR, -43%) and renal blood flow (delta RBF, -38%) within the first three hours after HgCl2 administration. Glomerular hemodynamics were studied by analysis of PVP-sieving curves. There was a significant shift of these curves upward and to the right during the 3 hours that followed the injection of HgCl2. From this analysis, no arguments for tubular back-leak could be found. Mathematical analysis of the curves revealed a fall in effective filtration pressure (EFP) in presence of an unchanged glomerular ultrafiltration coefficient (Kf) (delta EFP, -40 +/- 4%; p less than 0.01; delta Kf, +5 +/- 1%; p greater than 0.05 vs. control). No major changes occurred in glomerular colloid osmotic pressure. Subsequently, the early fall of GFR in this toxic model of acute renal failure was essentially attributed to a decrease of effective filtration pressure due to either tubular obstruction and/or mainly to renal hemodynamic changes.

Abstract
Oliguria has been considered a cardinal feature of acute renal failure. However, many recent reports indicate that acute renal failure usually occurs in the setting of well-maintained urine output. Moreover, the nonoliguric state may accompany acute renal failure due to pre- and post-renal azotemia and a variety of renal parenchymal disorders, as well as acute tubular necrosis. Most studies indicate that nonoliguric forms of acute renal failure are associated with less morbidity and mortality than oliguric acute renal failure. Uncontrolled studies also suggest that volume expansion, potent diuretic agents, and renal vasodilators can convert oliguric to nonoliguric acute tubular necrosis if administered early in the course of acute renal failure. However, prospective studies of early intervention in oliguric patients are needed.

Abstract
Infusion of prostacyclin inhibits platelet activation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) but also results in systemic arterial hypotension. Therefore, the effects of CPB and prostacyclin on renal function were studied in 36 male patients undergoing aortocoronary bypass. Nineteen patients (Group 1) received prostacyclin, 50 ng per kilogram of body weight per minute, during CPB, and 17 patients (Group 2) served as controls. There was pronounced hypotension in Group 1 only. Urine production during CPB averaged 88 +/- 140 ml and 2,306 +/- 1,112 ml in Groups 1 and 2, respectively. No patient had renal failure. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), as measured by clearance of chromium 51-labeled ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, was increased in Group 1 from 86 +/- 14 to 99 +/- 22 ml/1.73 m2/min (p less than 0.05) the day after operation, but remained unchanged in Group 2 (81 +/- 15 to 82 +/- 21 ml/1.73 m2/min). The increased GFR in Group 1 can be regarded as an expected adaptation to the change in body fluids after CPB. Therefore, the unchanged GFR in Group 2 must be regarded as caused by insufficient adaptation or impaired renal function. Proximal tubular function was evaluated by determination of beta 2-microglobulin in urine. In both groups, urinary beta 2-microglobulin and the ratio of urinary beta 2-microglobulin to urinary creatinine were increased the day after operation. The hypotension in Group 1 did not exacerbate the damage to tubular function.

Abstract
The effects of total renal ischemia (TRI) of 15-87 min duration due to suprarenal clamping of the aorta were studied in 15 mannitol-treated patients undergoing abdominal aortic surgery. 15 patients undergoing similar surgery but requiring only infrarenal clamping served as controls. 1-2 h following TRI, GFR was reduced to only 39% of that in controls, 23 +/- 5 vs. 59 +/- 7 ml/min (P less than 0.001). This could not be ascribed to impaired renal plasma flow (RPF), which was mildly reduced to 331 +/- 71 and was not different from the value in controls, 407 +/- 66 ml/min. However, impaired PAH extraction (43 +/- 7%) and isosthenuria, not present in controls, suggest a primary role for tubular injury in lowering GFR at this time. 24 h following TRI, the GFR remained depressed below controls, 45 +/- 8 vs. 84 +/- 8 ml/min (P less than 0.005), while the transglomerular sieving of neutral dextrans was significantly enhanced (radius interval, 24-40 A). A theoretical analysis of transcapillary solute exchange revealed that these findings could be largely explained by a selective reduction of either RPF (-61%) or of transmembrane hydraulic pressure difference (-18%) below control values. Alternately, a combination of these two factors with changes of smaller magnitude could explain the findings. In contrast, a selective increase in oncotic pressure or decrease of the glomerular ultrafiltration coefficient could be excluded as a cause of hypofiltration 24 h after TRI. These observations lead us to suggest that the transient azotemia observed following TRI is due to a self-limited injury to the nephron that is identical to that seen in overt and sustained forms of acute renal failure.
