Acute effects of parathyroid hormone on proximal bicarbonate transport in the dog.

Re-collection micropuncture and simultaneous clearance studies were performed in thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) dogs to evaluate the effects of the acute administration of parathyroid hormone ( PTH) on bicarbonate reabsorption. The i.v. administration of PTH from 74 to 94 U/hr reduced proximal fractional reabsorption (FRHCO3) from 0.28 +/- 0.03 to 0.14 +/- 0.03 (P less than 0.005) and absolute bicarbonate reabsorption (THCO3) from 556 +/- 126 to 255 +/- 73 pmoles/min (P less than 0.05), whereas there were no changes in PCO2 (37.0 +/- 1.4 leads to 37.2 +/- 1.4 mm Hg, P greater than 0.90), plasma bicarbonate (PHCO3) (18.5 +/- 0.4 leads to 18.3 +/- 0.4, P less than 0.60), single nephron glomerular filtration rate (102.2 +/- 15;9 leads to 90.1 +/- 10.3 nl/min, P greater than 0.40), serum ultrafilterable phosphate concentration (SUFp) (1.71 +/- 0.13 leads to 1.83 +/- 0.12 mmoles/liter, P greater than 0.25), or serum ultrafilterable calcium (SUFCa) (1.85 +/- 0.05 leads to 1.88 +/- 0.05 mEq/liter, P greater than 0.60). PTH also reduced proximal fractional fluid (and sodium) reabsorption (0.40 +/- 0.04 leads to 0.28 +/- 0.08, P less than 0.05) while TFHCO3 did not change (20.5 +/- 0.4 leads to 20.8 +/- 0.4 mmoles/liter) indicating a rejection of bicarbonate proportional to the inhibition in tubular fluid transport. The invariable reduction in proximal bicarbonate reabsorption did not uniformly result in an increased urinary bicarbonate concentration.[1]
