Summary Experiments were carried out on pentobarbital-anaesthetized dogs previously subjected to unilateral splanchnicotomy. Renal blood flow (RBF), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), tubular reabsorption of sodium (TRFNa), and oxygen consumption (Q O 2) were determined in normal state, following isotonic volume expansion and during furosemide administration (0.5–1.5 mg/kg bw.). Denervation diuresis and natriuresis occurred under all experimental conditions. TRFNa/Q O 2 was 31.4 mEq/mMol for intact and 27.7 mEq/mMol for denervated kidneys in the normal and isotonic volume expanded dogs. These values decreased significantly to 16.8 mEq/mMol and 18.3 mEq/mMol, respectively, upon furosemide loading. No difference between intact and denervated kidneys was observed in either group. TRFNa, RBF, and GFR were significantly correlated toQ O 2 with no difference between intact and splanchnicotomized sides. An inhibitory effect of renal denervation on active sodium transport in the proximal tubule is suggested.
