Compared with the adult, the immature kidney responds to acute volume expansion (VE) with reduced diuresis and natriuresis. The underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Diuresis and natriuresis are blunted despite a lower hematocrit (Hct) in the immature rat, which should enhance the response to VE. The present study was designed to evaluate the role of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), its second messenger, guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP), and Hct in the regulation of the renal response to acute saline VE (3% body wt) during postnatal development in rats. Anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats were studied in the preweaning (group P) or postweaning period (group W). In additional groups, Hct was increased in preweaned rats (group PI) and decreased in postweaned rats (group WD) by isovolemic exchange transfusion before VE. Although control plasma ANP concentration [( ANP]) was not different among the four groups, the increased diuretic and natriuretic response to VE in group W was associated with a greater increase in [ANP] and urinary cGMP excretion (UcGMPV) than in group P (P less than 0.05). Experimental increases in Hct in group PI resulted in greater [ANP] after VE but a reduction in UcGMPV and diuresis (P less than 0.05), whereas decrease in Hct in group WD increased UcGMPV without a significant effect on [ANP], diuresis, or natriuresis. We conclude that ANP may contribute to the increasing renal response to VE with maturation and that Hct modulates ANP release, UcGMPV, and the renal response to VE in postnatal maturation.
