To evaluate the effect of prostaglandin inhibition on the renal blood flow of the ischemic kidney, we administered indomethacin to 10 anesthetized dogs with renal artery stenosis and contralateral nephrectomy. Following the operation to produce renal ischemia, there was an increase of blood pressure associated with an increase of renin and the prostaglandins F1 (PGF1), and E (PGE). The administration of indomethacin to the intact, normotensive animals caused the anticipated decrease of prostaglandin E, renin, and renal blood flow. However, in the hypertensive dogs, indomethacin caused a paradoxical 45 per cent increase in the renal blood flow, despite a 44 per cent decrease of prostaglandin E. PGF1, PGE, renin, and erythropoietin exhibited the anticipated decreased levels. The study suggests that prostaglandins may not be the sole important factor in the regulation of renal blood flow in the presence of ischemia. Other important factors likely include the renin-sensitive angiotensin, the adrenergic, and the kallikrein-kinin systems.
