    Abstract Increases in luminal NaCl concentration at the macula densa (MD), the sensing element, activate tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF). MD cell volume increases when increments are isosmotic and shrinks if osmolality increases. This interesting finding introduces additional complexity to the role of the MD in TGF.

    Abstract Kidney blood flow is highly regulated by a combination of myogenic autoregulation, multiple neurohormonal systems and the tubuloglomerular feedback system, the later of which specifically relates tubular reabsorption to the filtered load. Oxygen and substrate requirements of the kidney are dictated by both supply of oxygen and substrates and metabolic demands of the kidney. The tubuloglomerular feedback system utilizes mediators which are intimately linked to cellular metabolism, ATP and adenosine. This system based upon communication transfer between the macular densa and the afferent arteriole stabilizes kidney function and is not static but temporally adapts or resets to new external physiologic conditions. Such temporal adaptation occurs via modulators such as nitric oxide (NO), primarily derived from NOS-1, angiotensin II and COX-2 products. These hormonal influences also exert capacities to modulate cellular demands for oxygen, particularly NO which decreases oxygen consumption via multiple mechanisms. The several mechanisms whereby NO and other hormonal systems and transporter activity can regulate and produce changes in kidney metabolic demands are discussed. Modulators which influence temporal adaptation and resetting of TGF are also significant contributors to the regulation of cellular oxygen consumption in the kidney. These systems may act in concert to preserve the coordination of filtered load and tubular reabsorption and the metabolic demands of kidney function, thereby determining the ischemic threshold for kidney function.

    Abstract Acetaminophen (APAP) is normally metabolized in the liver and kidney by P450 enzymes. No toxicity is observed with therapeutic doses of APAP. However, after ingestion of large quantities of APAP (>2,000 mg/kg), highly reactive quinones, metabolites of APAP, are generated; these react with glutathione and sulfhydryl groups on critical proteins, resulting in cellular dysfunction and hepatic and renal toxicity. The P450 metabolizing enzymes differ somewhat in character between the liver and kidney. Factors that enhance renal toxicity include chronic liver disease, possibly gender, concurrent renal insults, and conditions that alter the activity of P450-metabolizing enzyme systems. Acute renal toxicity is characterized by cellular injury primarily confined to the proximal tubule and significant reductions in glomerular filtration rate. However, there is little evidence that chronic administration of APAP contributes to chronic renal disease and analgesic nephropathy. The only report on this subject suggests that combination therapy with aspirin is required for medullary damage in rats. No evidence exists for the development of chronic analgesic nephropathy with APAP alone. Epidemiologic studies in healthy individuals have failed to demonstrate a significant correlation between APAP use and chronic renal disease and classic analgesic nephropathy. Therefore, large doses of APAP can produce both renal and hepatic failure, but little evidence exists for production of classic analgesic nephropathy with the use of APAP alone.
