Fibrin formation in the kidney is frequently associated with clinically-significant renal dysfunction. We therefore measured and characterized the procoagulant activity (PCA) which is present in normal kidneys and in kidneys of rabbits with the Shwartzman phenomenon induced by two injections of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS; E. coli LPS 055:B5,25 micrograms/kg and 50 micrograms/kg administered 24 hrs apart with rabbits sacrificed 12 hrs after the second injection). PCA was measured in sonicated tissue by one-stage coagulation assay. In normal kidneys the amounts of PCA in the inner medulla, outer medulla and inner cortex were 18.2 +/- 3.2, 44.1 +/- 3.8 and 78.5 +/- 5.7 percent, respectively, of that in the outer cortex (N = 31). Glomeruli (purified by the iron oxide magnetic method to greater than 95 percent homogeneity) contained 21.6 +/- 8.8 arbitrary units/micrograms protein compared with tubular fragments which contained 13.9 +/- 2.6 U/micrograms protein (N = 9). In LPS-treated rabbits PCA (in units/micrograms) increased in outer cortex from 33.7 +/- 3.9 (control) to 73.4 +/- 10.4 (LPS, P less than 0.01), in inner cortex from 26.7 +/- 2.9 (control) to 83.3 +/- 17 (LPS, P less than 0.02), in outer medulla from 12.9 +/- 2.4 (control) to 54.5 +/- 16.5 (LPS, P less than 0.05), and in inner medulla from 12.2 +/- 2.4 (control) to 32.1 +/- 4.9 (LPS, P less than 0.01). Glomerular PCA increased from 21.6 +/- 8.8 (control) to 88.8 +/- 20.7 (LPS) units/micrograms (P = 0.01), while tubular fragment preparation PCA increased from 13.9 +/- 2.6 (control) to 44.6 +/- 12.7 (LPS) U/micrograms (P = 0.02) (N = 9 per group).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
