Zusammenfassung

Bei Ratten wurde der extracelluläre Flüssigkeitsraum mit Hilfe von NaCl-Infusionen unterschiedlicher Geschwindigkeit (0,15 und 0,5 ml/min) stufenweise expandiert. Auf diese Weise konnte der Effekt einer Volumen-Expansion des extracellulären Flüssigkeitsraumes auf die Ausscheidung von Natrium, anorganischem Phosphat und Calcium bei normalen und bei parathyreoidektomierten Tieren untersucht werden.

Bei normalen Ratten stieg die Ausscheidung von Natrium von 13,7 auf 56,6 μÄq/min, die des anorganischen Phosphates von 0,69 auf 1,34 μM/min und die von Calcium von 0,54 auf 0.87 μÄq/min signifikant (P<0.001) an, sobald die Infusionsrate von 0,15 ml/min auf 0,5 ml/min erhöht wurde. Die prozentuale Ausscheidung von Natrium stieg von 3,8 auf 13,3% des filtrierten Natriums, die des anorganischen Phosphates von 13,8 auf 27,2% des filtrierten Phosphates.

Bei parathyreoidektomierten Tieren war die Ausscheidung von Natrium und Calcium ähnlich. Im Gegensatz dazu war die Ausscheidung von anorganischem Phosphat extrem vermindert auf 0,0058 μM/min bei 0,15 ml/min Infusionsrate und auf 0.0121 μM/min bei der höheren Infusionsrate von 0,5 ml/min. Dies entsprach einer prozentualen Ausscheidung von 0,2 bzw. 0,3% des filtrierten anorganischen Phosphates.

Aus den Resultaten wird der Schluß gezogen, daß eine normale Nebenschilddrüsen-Funktion eine Voraussetzung für die normalerweise nach hohen NaCl-Infusionen auftretende Phosphat-Diurese ist.

Summary

Clearance studies have been performed in rats undergoing saline diuresis. Saline infusion was increased from 0.15 to 0.5 ml/min during each experiment in order to examine the effect of extracellular fluid volume expansion on the excretion of sodium, inorganic phosphate, and calcium in normal and parathyroidectomized animals.

In normal animals excretion of sodium, inorganic phosphate, and calcium increased significantly (P<0.001) from 13.7 to 56.6 μEq/min, from 0.69 to 1.34 μM/min, and from 0.54 to 0.87 μEq/min, respectively, under these conditions. Fractional excretion of sodium rose from 3.8 to 13.3%, fractional excretion of inorganic phosphate from 13.8 to 27.2%, when infusion rate was elevated from 0.15 to 0.5 ml/min.

In parathyroidectomized animals excretion rates of sodium and calcium were similar. In contrast, after parathyroidectomy inorganic phosphate excretion was almost abolished, being 0.0058 and 0.0121 μM/min or 0.2 and 0.3% of filtered inorganic phosphate at the lower and the higher infusion rate, respectively.

It is concluded, that the presence of intact parathyroids is a prerequisite for the mediation of the normal phosphaturic response secondary to saline infusions.
