Summary
Different degrees of obstruction to the renal venous drainage were produced in rabbits and the cortical oxygen pressures in the kidney measured with the multiple-wire surface electrode of Kessler and Luebbers. Sudden complete occlusion of the inferior vena cava (IVC) above the renal vein, or above and below the renal vein simultaneously, produced a slight decrease of about 27%. Sudden complete occlusion of the renal vein itself caused a severe decrease of 67% (obstruction near the IVC) or 100% (obstruction near the kidney). One hour later different degrees of incomplete recovery were found. The PO2 curves for the renal cortex revealed different pressure-dependent pathophysiological changes in the microcirculation. The multiple-wire surface electrode may well prove to be of use during renal surgery in which venous obstruction is a critical factor.
