Abstract
The aim of this investigation was to study noninvasively the effects of hypoxaemia, hyperoxaemia
and hypercapnia on renal blood flow in normal subjects and renal allograft recipients, i.e. with
denervated kidneys. By comparing these two groups, the influence of renal innervation on any
resulting changes in renal blood flow could be ascertained. Nine normal and eight renal allograft
recipients were studied. Each subject inhaled the following gas mixtures in order: room air, 10%
O2 (hypoxaemia), 10% O2 + baseline CO2 (isocapnic hypoxaemia), 10% O2 + high CO2
(hypercapnic hypoxaemia), 100% O2 (hyperoxaemia), 100% O2 + baseline CO2 (isocapnic
hyperoxaemia) and 100% O2 + high CO2 (hypercapnia hyperoxaemia). Using Doppler
ultrasonography, the pulsatility index (PI), an index of renovascular resistance, was measured at
the various gas inhalation levels. In normal subjects, the renovascular resistance increased in
response to hypoxaemia, with a greater increase in response to hypercapnic hypoxaemia.
Hyperoxaemia caused a decrease in renovascular resistance but this was abolished with the
addition of CO2. There was a similar pattern in the PI response to the different gas inhalations in
the renal transplant subjects, but these responses were attenuated in comparison with those of
the normals. In conclusion, renal denervation does not completely abolish the renovascular
responses to inhaled oxygen and carbon dioxide.
