Effects of cadmium intoxication on renal transport systems for various organic compounds were studied. Subcutaneous injections of CdCl2 (2 mg Cd/kg.day) for two to three weeks induced marked polyuria, glycosuria, and proteinuria without altering glomerular filtration rate. In renal cortical brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) isolated from cadmium treated rats, Na(+)-dependent D-glucose uptake was markedly attenuated, and this was due to reduction in Vmax and not Km. Likewise, Na(+)-driven L-glutamate transport and H(+)-driven tetraethylammonium transport were significantly reduced. In renal cortical basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV) of cadmium intoxicated rats, Na(+)-dependent succinate transport was drastically reduced. These results indicate that cadmium intoxication impairs various transport systems for organic compounds in the brush border and basolateral membranes of proximal renal tubules.
