Evidence against increased glomerular pressure initiating diabetic nephropathy. Studies were carried out to determine whether exaggerated glomerular hydraulic pressure (PG) initiates the development of glomerular pathology and proteinuria in insulin–dependent diabetic rats. Normotensive (WKY) and hypertensive rats (SHR) were made diabetic by streptozotocin injection. One group of SHR diabetic rats was treated with antihypertensive drugs to reduce blood pressure. One week after onset of diabetes, micropuncture determinations of PG, measured by stopped–flow technique, revealed that PG was higher in WKY diabetics than in non-diabetic WKY controls, and that PG was even higher in SHR diabetics (P < 0.05). Similarly prepared groups of animals were followed for six months, approximately one fifth to one third of the expected life span of these rats. Tail systolic blood–pressure measurements documented continuous severe systolic–hypertension in SHR diabetics, normal pressure in the WKY diabetics and hypotension in the SHR diabetics treated continuously with antihypertensive drugs. Urinary protein excretion, measured monthly, was statistically the same in all groups, with no evidence of a progressive rise in the SHR diabetics. PGmeasured in two rats from each group after four months of diabetes was similar to values found after one week of diabetes. Semiquantitative histologic scoring of glomerular mesangial expansion after six months of diabetes failed to demonstrate any significant difference between the normotensive WKY diabetics and the hypertensive SHR diabetics. These observations suggest that elevated PGdoes not in itself initiate glomerular pathology or proteinuria in diabetes. Since the SHR diabetics did not have higher glomerular filtration rates than the WKY diabetics, the data do not exclude the possibility that glomerular pathology and proteinuria are causally related to high plasma flow or filtration rates. Lowering of blood pressure to hypotensive levels in SHR diabetics afforded protection against the development of early diabetic glomerulopathy.
