Impact of Iodinated Contrast on Renal Function and Hemodynamics in Rats with Chronic Hyperglycemia and Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract

Iodinated contrast (IC) is clinically used in diagnostic and interventional procedures, but its use can result in contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and chronic hyperglycemia (CH) are important predisposing factors to CI-AKI. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of iodinated contrast on the renal function and hemodynamics in rats with chronic hyperglycemia and chronic kidney disease. A total of 30 rats were divided into six groups; Sham: control of chronic renal disease; Citrate: control of chronic hyperglycemia (CH); Nx5/6: rats with 5/6 nephrectomy; Chronic Hyperglycemia: rats receiving Streptozotocin 65 mg/kg; Nx5/6 + IC: rats Nx5/6 received 6 mL/kg of IC; CH + IC: Chronic hyperglycemia rats receiving 6 mL/kg of IC. Renal function (inulin clearance; urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, NGAL) and hemodynamics (arterial blood pressure; renal blood flow; renal vascular resistance) were evaluated. Iodinated contrast significantly increased urinary NGAL and reduced inulin clearance, while the hemodynamics parameters showed changes in arterial blood pressure, renal blood flow, and renal vascular resistance in both CKD and CH groups. The results suggest that the iodinated contrast in risk factors models has important impact on renal function and hemodynamics. NGAL was confirmed to play a role of highlight in diagnosis of CI-AKI.

“…In this study it was possible to verify the triad of polyuria, polydipsia and polyphagia, in addition to increased capillary glycemia (hyperglycemia) in animals chemically induced to develop DM. This finding confirms that the model standardization was successful (7,14) .…”

“…In this study, assessment of renal blood flow and renal vascular resistance demonstrated significant changes in animals treated with gentamicin alone and with gentamicin in combination with chronic hyperglycemia, evidencing intense hypoperfusion; this differs from what was observed in the DM group, in which the values remained similar to those of the Citrate group. A study found normal parameters of hemodynamics in DM groups which changed when other nephrotoxic substances were associated (14) . Measuring renal hemodynamics contributes to understanding the action mechanism of the vasodilator and vasopressin agents involved in renal injury models.…”

“…For renal blood flow, the left renal artery was isolated and involved by ultrasonic probes to measure the blood flow of the vessel. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was determined by carotid artery catheterization, while renal vascular resistance (RVR) was calculated according to the following formula: RVR = MAP / RBF (14) .…”

“…Then, a ventral midline incision was made, exposing the left renal pedicle. The renal artery was then isolated, and a suitable probe was placed around the exposed artery to measure renal blood flow (RBF) [ 13 ].…”
