    A novel rat kidney tissue sampling method ensures rapid, accurate separation of renal areas, including the papilla. This technique provides reliable in vivo tissue fixation for biochemical analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Physiology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Traditional freeze-clamping limits sampling of distinct renal areas.
    • Accurate dissection of renal regions is crucial for localized biochemical analysis.
    • Inadequate sampling can compromise the integrity of renal tissue studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new method for rapid and precise kidney tissue sampling in anesthetized rats.
    • To enable comprehensive collection of different renal areas, particularly the papilla.
    • To validate the method's efficacy through assessment of in vivo tissue fixation.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel technique involving sectioning a kidney slice and immediate freezing in anesthetized rats.
    • Utilized a specialized device for quick and accurate separation of renal regions.

  • Adenine nucleotide levels (ATP) were measured to confirm adequate in vivo fixation.

    • Main Results:

    • The new method allows for rapid and accurate separation of renal areas, including near-complete papilla sampling.
    • Complete tissue freezing was achieved within 7 seconds of renal artery clamping.
    • ATP concentration in cortex samples (1.62 ± 0.33 μmol/g wet tissue) confirmed successful in vivo fixation, comparable to freeze-clamping.

    Conclusions:

    • The described kidney tissue sampling technique offers improved accuracy and completeness compared to freeze-clamping.
    • This method facilitates precise biochemical analysis of specific renal regions.
    • It provides a reliable approach for studying renal physiology and pathology in vivo.
