This study was designed to examine the effect of bilateral renal denervation (DNX) on thick ascending limb of Henles (TAL) function in rats with liver cirrhosis induced by common bile duct ligation (CBL). The CBL rats had, as previously shown, sodium retention associated with hypertrophy of the inner stripe of the outer medulla (ISOM), increased natriuretic effect of furosemide in vivo and semiquantitative immunoblotting showed increased expression of the furosemide sensitive Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC2) in ISOM from CBL rats. DNX significantly attenuated the sodium retention in the CBL rats, which was associated with normalization of the natriuretic effect of furosemide, as well as a significant reduction in the expression of NKCC2 in the ISOM. However, the marked hypertrophy of the ISOM found in CBL rats was not reversed by DNX. Together these data indicate that increased renal sympathetic nerve activity known to be present in CBL rats play a significant role for the formation of sodium retention by stimulating sodium reabsorption in the TAL via increased renal abundance of NKCC2.
