Fluid reabsorption in surface nephrons was studied by micropuncture 3 hours after release of complete left ureteral ligation (LUL) or after unilateral release of bilateral ureteral ligation (BUL). In 11 rats with LUL, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) averaged 0.23 +/- 0.04 ml. per minute in the experimental vs. 1.25 +/- 0.11 ml. per minute in the control kidney. GFR averaged 0.18 +/- 0.02 ml. per minute in BUL. Single nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) was decreased in the experimental kidney of LUL or BUL when determined at proximal or distal sites as compared to the SNGFR determined in shams or the left kidney following right ureteral ligation (RUL). Fractional water excretion was increased after release of obstruction. LUL 2.72 +/- 0.66 per cent; BUL 12.3 +/- 2.82 per cent when compared to sham-operated rats (0.48 +/- 0.07 per cent) or to the untouched kidneys of the RUL group (0.60 +/- 0.09 per cent). Despite increased water and sodium excretion after release of unilateral ureteral ligation and BUL there were marked differences in tubular fluid reabsorption between these two groups. Following release of LUL there was increased fractional water reabsorption along the accessible length of surface nephrons of the experimental kidney. At 55 per cent of proximal tubular length TF/Pin averaged 4.02 +/- 0.02 in LUL vs. 2.18 +/- 0.06 in shams. The mean TF/Pin at 90 per cent of distal tubular length was 31.0 +/- 1.37 in LUL vs. 10.6 +/- 0.08 in sham-operated rats. In contrast, water reabsorption after BUL was slightly but significantly suppressed proximally (TF/Pin 1.95 +/- 0.02) and markedly depressed distally (TF/Pin 3.35 +/- 0.29). These results suggest that the change in fluid reabsorption observed after relief of LUL is located at a site beyond the accessible length of surface nephrons, most likely in the collecting duct. However, the data could also be explained by alterations in fluid reabsorption in deep nephrons. The changes in fluid reabsorption seen following release of BUL reflect the additive effects of release of obstruction and a marked reduction in functioning nephron mass.
