Indomethacin-induced urinary flow rate reduction in the ovine fetus is associated with reduced free water clearance and elevated plasma arginine vasopressin levels.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:The purpose of our study was to explore the urinary responses of the ovine fetus to indomethacin levels comparable with those used therapeutically in the human fetus. STUDY DESIGN:After a 1-hour control period, chronically catheterized ovine fetuses between 125 and 139 days of gestation were given an intravenous bolus of indomethacin (0.05 mg/kg estimated fetal weight) followed by a 0.0025 mg/kg/min continuous infusion for 5 hours. The experimental group (n = 9) was compared with a vehicle-only infusion group (n = 10). RESULTS:There was a sustained 55.7% +/- 9.5% (mean +/- SEM) decrease in urinary output by 2 hours of indomethacin infusion (p < 0.00001, analysis of variance). Urinary osmolality, potassium, and chloride concentrations underwent sustained increases during the infusion period (p < 0.005). Free water clearance decreased by 67.5% +/- 12.0% (p < 0.001). Fetal arterial pressure increased only transiently (p < 0.05), and increases in venous pressure (p = 0.013) and heart rate (p < 0.0001) were sustained. Fetal plasma arginine vasopressin concentration increased during indomethacin infusion (p < 0.05) and was correlated with the fall in urinary flow rate and free water clearance (p = 0.002). During vehicle infusion no significant changes were observed in any of the variables. CONCLUSIONS:Our data indicate that the fetus undergoes antidiuresis when exposed to low levels of indomethacin and that the observed antidiuresis is mediated by a decrease in free water clearance. The reduction in free water clearance may be mediated by increases in plasma arginine vasopressin concentrations.
