Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The hypothesis that renal tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia are pivotal elements of the pathophysiological chain of events that leads to AKI of various origins was corroborated by in vivo studies in rats utilizing both, methods of integrative physiology and parametric MRI (in close cooperation with Projects 9 and 5). Based upon our results, we proposed a unifying theory regarding the multifaceted pathophysiology of contrast-induced AKI. To test the hypothesis, that nitrite alleviates AKI, we first established a protocol for low-dose nitrite administration that results in significant vasodilation in hypoxic tissue areas, but does not result in unwarranted hypotension or methemoglobin levels. This low-dose nitrite administration greatly alleviated renal tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia in rat AKI; as the safety of comparable low-dose nitrite administration in humans has already been shown, it might well constitute a reasonably specific measure to prevent or alleviate AKI in patients. Our studies showed that the use of a standard set of reversible (patho-)physiologically relevant test procedures (including the newly developed ones) as well as the addition of near-infrared spectroscopic measurements to our standard setup of physiological probes enables comprehensive determination of the regulation of renal hemodynamics and oxygenation in vivo. The feasibility of iron oxide nanoparticles as contrast agent was also proven. Utilizing the hybrid MR-PHYSIOL approach, in close cooperation with Project 9 we found that the relationship between parameters relevant for renal (patho-)physiology such as renal tissue partial pressure of oxygen and blood oxygenation level-dependent MRI is confounded by a number of factors. Therefore, the impact of these confounders in several (patho-)physiological scenarios must be quantified, before a stand-alone MRI protocol for renal hemodynamics and oxygenation can be established.
