To determine whether the increased filtration of serum proteins after glomerular injury is the consequence of altered electrostatic properties of the glomerular capillary wall, fractional clearances of the anionic polymer, dextran sulfate, were measured in 9 Munich-Wistar rats in the early autologous phase of nephrotoxic serum nephritis (NSN). Whole kidney and single nephron glomerular filtration rates were normal in NSN rats despite histological evidence of glomerular injury, and despite a marked reduction in the glomerular capillary ultrafiltration coefficient to approximately 1/3 of normal. The mean fractional clearances for dextran sulfate over the same range of molecular radii were significantly greater than those found previously for normal Munich-Wistar rats. The fractional clearance of dextran sulfate molecules of the same molecular radius as serum albumin (.apprx. 36 .ANG.) was increased markedly, from 0.015 .+-. 0.005 (SEM) in non-nephritic controls to 0.24 .+-. 0.003 (SEM) in NSN (P < 0.001). The sialoprotein content of glomeruli, estimated by the colloidal Fe reaction, was reduced in NSN rats as compared to normal controls. The abnormal filtration of anionic serum proteins, such as albumin, seen in glomerulopathies is, at least in part, the consequence of loss of fixed negative charges from the glomerular capillary wall.
