Effect of intra-abdominal hypertension on plasma exogenous creatinine clearance in conscious and anesthetized dogs.

To evaluate the effect of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) on plasma exogenous creatinine clearance in both conscious and anesthetized dog models using a balloon technique to generate intra-abdominal hypertension. Prospective, cross-over, experimental study. University-based small animal research facility. Six healthy male Beagle dogs. A balloon device comprising a Foley urinary catheter and latex balloon was placed in the intra-abdominal cavity. Plasma exogenous creatinine clearance was compared after intravenous administration of exogenous creatinine solution at 80 mg/kg under 4 different treatment conditions as follows: control and IAP levels of 25 mm Hg in conscious dogs and control and IAP levels of 25 mm Hg in anesthetized dogs (CC, C25, AC, and A25, respectively). Samples were obtained before (T0) and 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360, 480, and 600 min after administration of creatinine in all treatment groups. There were no significant differences in plasma creatinine concentration for CC, AC, and C25 during the treatment period. However, in the A25 treatment condition, the plasma creatinine concentration increased significantly at 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after administration of creatinine (P < 0.05). Plasma creatinine clearances were 5.0 ± 0.5, 4.7 ± 1.2, 5.5 ± 0.9, and 2.5 ± 0.5 mL/kg/min for 600 min (CC, AC, C25, and A25, respectively). In the A25 treatment condition, the plasma exogenous creatinine clearance decreased significantly to 50%, 47%, and 55% of that under control conditions (CC, AC, and C25, respectively). After decompression of the abdomen, plasma creatinine concentrations declined rapidly and returned to basal concentrations. Intra-abdominal hypertension under general anesthesia could cause renal hypoperfusion. Timely decompression may improve the outcome of acutely increased IAP when surgery and/or general anesthesia is required in canine patients.
