Chronic metabolic acidosis (CMA) is associated with decreased NaCl reabsorption in the proximal tubule (PT). However, the effect of CMA on Na+ transport in the distal tubule (DT) and collecting duct (CD) is poorly understood. Rats were placed in metabolic cages and had access to water (control), 0.28 M NH4Cl, or 0.28 M KCl solutions in a pair-feeding protocol for 5 days (5d). Metabolic acidosis developed within 24 h in NH4Cl-, but not in KCl-loaded rats. Interestingly, NH4Cl- but not KCl-loaded rats exhibited a significant natriuresis after 24 h of treatment. Urinary Na+ excretion increased from 1.94 to 2.97 meq/24 h (P < 0.001) and returned to below baseline level (1.67 meq/l) after 5d of CMA. The protein abundance of the cortical Na-Cl cotransporter (NCC) remained unchanged at 24 h, but increased significantly (P < 0.01) after 5d of CMA. The protein abundance of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-subunits of the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) in the cortex decreased sharply during the first 24 h and then returned to baseline levels after 5d of CMA. Interestingly, Sgk1 expression decreased after 24 h (-31%, P < 0.05) and then returned to baseline after 5d of CMA. Nedd4-2 expression was not altered during CMA. CMA enhanced serum aldosterone levels by 54% and increased the expression of aldosterone synthase in the adrenal gland by 134% after 5d of CMA. In conclusion, metabolic acidosis has dual effects on urinary Na+ excretion. The early natriuresis results from decreased Na+ reabsorption in the PT and Sgk1-related decreased ENaC activity in the DT and CD. Aldosterone-induced upregulation of NCC, Sgk1, and ENaC likely contributes to the antinatriuretic phase of metabolic acidosis. This adaptation prevents Na+ wasting and volume depletion during chronic acid insult.
