Oxygen requirement of bicarbonate-dependent sodium reabsorption in the dog kidney

O. Mathisen, T. Monclair and F. Kiil

The ratio between changes in sodium reabsorption and renal oxygen consumption (Na/O2) was measured in anesthetized dogs at high plasma bicarbonate concentration (32 +/- 1 mM); ethacrynic acid was infused continuously to prevent variations in transcellular NaCl reabsorption when sodium reabsorption was altered by varying plasma PCO2 and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). At high plasma PCO2 (110 mmHg) sodium reabsorption varied in proportion to GRF between 50 and 125% of control GFR (glomerulotubular balance). By reducing PCO2 to 20 mmHg, sodium reabsorption was reduced by 50-60% at constant GFR. The Na/O2 ratio was not significantly different during the two procedures and averaged 48 +/- 2. The ratio between changes in NaHCO3 reabsorption and oxygen consumption averaged 17 +/- 1, which is not significantly different from the Na/O2 ratio of Na-K-ATPase-dependent sodium transport. We propose that NaHCO3 is admitted to the cell by Na+/H+ exchange and that sodium is actively transported by Na-K-ATPase across the peritubular cell membrane; NaHCO3 provides the osmotic force for paracellular reabsorption of water and NaCl (bicarbonate-dependent reabsorption) without additional energy requirement.
