Introduction. Vasopressin, mainly through the V1a-receptor, is thought to be a major player in the maintenance of hyperfiltration. Its inhibition could therefore lead to a decrease in progression of chronic renal failure.To this end, the effect of the vasopressin V1a-receptor-selective antagonist, YM218, was studied on proteinuria and focal glomerulosclerosis in early and late intervention after 5/6 nephrectomy in rats, and compared with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I).

Materials and methods. After 5/6 nephrectomy, early intervention was performed between week 2 and 10 thereafter with the V1a-receptor-selective antagonist (VRA, 10 mg/kg/day, n=10), enalapril (ACE-I, 10 mg/kg/day, n=9), or vehicle (n=8). Late intervention was performed in another group between week 6 and 12 with VRA (10 mg/kg/day, n=7), lisinopril (ACE-I, 5 mg/kg/day, n=7), or vehicle (n=7).

Results. In early intervention, proteinuria and focal glomerulosclerosis were significantly decreased by VRA compared to vehicle (44 7% and 59+8% respectively). ACE-I significantly decreased proteinuria (67 7%) and a trend towards a decrease in focal glomerulosclerosis was observed (30 18%). In late intervention, VRA did not decrease proteinuria and focal glomerulosclerosis compared to vehicle (21 20% and 0%, respectively),ACE-I significantly lowered proteinuria (92 2%) and a focal glomerulosclerosis (69+1%) lowering trend was observed.

Conclusion. These results indicate that VRA may protect against early progression of renal injury after 5/6 nephrectomy, whereas its effectiveness seems limited in established renal damage.

Key Words: 5/6 nephrectomy • ACE-inhibition • glomerular hyperfiltration • focal glomerulosclerosis • proteinuria • vasopressin antagonism
