Exogenous creatinine clearance rate was determined in 8 partially (approx 75%) nephrectomized dogs fed 2 concentrations of dietary sodium, beginning 9 weeks after partial nephrectomy was performed. In a double crossover design, dogs were then fed low-sodium diet (0.18% sodium on a dry-weight basis) or high-sodium diet (1.3% sodium on a dry-weight basis) in 2 sequences (L/H/L or H/L/H) for 3 consecutive 4-week observation periods. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was measured by exogenous creatinine clearance before and after partial nephrectomy, and every 2 weeks during the experimental diet periods. Initial mean +/- SD GFR (3.76 +/- 0.78 ml/min/kg of body weight) decreased precipitously after nephrectomy (1.25 +/- 0.45 ml/min/kg); however, during the postnephrectomy and experimental diet periods, GFR gradually increased in all dogs to nearly half the prenephrectomy values (1.87 +/- 0.22 ml/min/kg). Significant differences in GFR were not observed when dogs were fed the IM or the H/L/H sequence. Therefore, it was concluded that abrupt change from high dietary sodium (1.3%) to restricted dietary sodium (0.18%), or vice versa, does not cause deterioration of renal function in dogs with moderate renal impairment. However, caution should be used in extrapolating these findings to dogs with clinically evident (azotemia, isosthenuria) renal failure.
