Mild haemorrhage occasionally causes delayed death following failure of kidney or multiple organs, but the precise mechanisms have not yet been identified. We investigated the role of tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α), known as a major pro‐inflammatory cytokine that leads to multiple organ failure, on the renal damage induced by mild haemorrhage. A mild haemorrhagic state was induced in male anaesthetized rats by bleeding via a common carotid catheter for 20 min at 16.7% of total body blood, 1.09 ml/100 g body weight, without fluid resuscitation. Mean arterial pressure and heart rate decreased soon after haemorrhaging but returned to baseline level up to 5 h after bleeding. TNF‐α mRNA expression in the kidney and serum TNF‐α levels were highest at 1 h after bleeding. Intraperitoneal pretreatment with FR167653, an inhibitory compound of TNF‐α production, as well as of interleukin (IL)‐1β, significantly inhibited the increase in TNF‐α. The inflammatory cell infiltration and tubular cell injury induced by haemorrhage were suppressed, and the renal dysfunction was dramatically improved by the FR167653 treatment. The morphological changes were also less in the treated group than in those that had not been treated. TNF‐α has been reported to have striking effects on IL‐1β release and activation of neutrophils, and to play a pivotal role in the expression of the other pro‐inflammatory cytokines. Our data show that endogenously‐derived TNF‐α does play a key role in the renal dysfunction during mild haemorrhage. These results should be useful to forensic pathologists to explain the pathogenesis of renal dysfunction induced by a mild haemorrhage and to identify the cause of death where there are no significant morphological changes after mild haemorrhage.
