Effect of ambient cold on urine concentration by the intact and denervated dog kidney

Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In dogs transferred from room temperature to a low temperature of 1±(SD) 3.5°C, the plasma norepinephrine (NE) level increased significantly. Urine concentration decreased in the cold, in the intact and similarly in the chronically denervated kidney. After return to a warm environment urine concentration improved in both kidneys while plasma NE remained elevated. The data speak against an essential role of the renal nerves in the adaptation of renal function to ambient cold.
