PG - F169-75 AB - Many studies in the literature have drawn conclusions regarding the mechanism of change in absolute proximal tubular reabsorption (APR) based on steady-state measurements of proximal reabsorptive rates and the peritubular capillary. The proximal reabsorptive rate, APR, is the product of the effective reabsorptive pressure (ERP) and the peritubular capillary reabsorptive coefficient (LpAR) (APR = ERP . LpAR). The ERP is defined by the net hydrostatic and oncotic pressure gradient acting across the capillary wall from interstitium to peritubular capillary flow. The relationship APR = ERP . LpAR is predefined, and steady-state measurements do not permit determination of causality because primary changes in any variable obligate a proportional change in a second variable. As an example of the difficulties in interpretation of this type of analysis, we have examined the APR and factors contributing to ERP and LpAR before and after the administration of benzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, to saline-expanded Munich-Wistar rats. Alterations in peritubular capillary fluid uptake cannot always be interpreted as casual mechanisms for changes in absolute fluid reabsorption but may result from primary alterations in epithelial transport.
