Consequences of structural renovascular changes for renal barostat function.

B Folkow, G Göthberg

    Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979)
    |November 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Renal vascular resistance and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) adapt differently in hypertensive rats. Structural changes in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and renal hypertensive rats (RHR) alter pre- and postglomerular resistances, impacting GFR regulation.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Renal Hypertension

    Background:

    • Renal vascular resistance and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are critical determinants of kidney function and blood pressure regulation.
    • Structural adaptations in the renal vasculature can significantly alter renovascular resistance and GFR, particularly in hypertensive states.
    • Understanding these adaptations is crucial for comprehending the pathophysiology of hypertension and developing effective treatments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the renal vascular responses during maximal vasodilation in different models of hypertension and control rats.
    • To investigate how structural adaptations in renal vascular beds influence the relationship between perfusion pressure and GFR.
    • To elucidate the role of pre- and postglomerular resistance adjustments in maintaining GFR under hypertensive conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Maximal vasodilation was induced in normotensive control rats (NCR), uninephrectomized NCR (U-NCR), spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and two-kidney, one clip renal hypertensive rats (RHR).
    • Glomerular filtration capacity, total renovascular resistance, and the pressure-GFR relationship were assessed.
    • Changes in pre- and postglomerular resistances were inferred from functional and structural adaptations.

    Main Results:

    • In SHR, the pre- to postglomerular resistance ratio increased early, with later increases in postglomerular resistance, indicating efficient barostat resetting and adaptation to preserve GFR.
    • In the clipped kidney of RHR, reduced preglomerular resistance compensated for inflow hindrance, while both resistances increased in the pressure-exposed kidney, suggesting less efficient barostat resetting.
    • The hypertrophic kidney in U-NCR showed uniform vascular growth without altering the resistance ratio.

    Conclusions:

    • Renal structural adaptations differentially modulate renovascular resistance and GFR in various hypertensive models.
    • SHR exhibit efficient barostat resetting through vascular remodeling, while RHR show varied adaptations depending on pressure exposure.
    • These findings highlight the complex interplay between structural changes, vascular resistance, and GFR regulation in hypertension.
