Rats were administered nontoxic doses of Cd2+ by oral or i.p. routes. They were subsequently treated with either Na2CrO4 (10 or 20 mg/kg, s.c.) or CCl4 (0.5 or 1 ml/kg, intragastric). Evidence of renal damage was obtained from determination in urine of total protein and amino acids and from analysis of urinary proteins by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Liver damage was evaluated by determining serum activities of sorbitol dehydrogenase and glutamate pyruvate transaminase. Effects of CCl4 on urinary excretion and tissue distribution of Cd2+ varied depending on whether liver damage was associated with extensive renal lesions. When renal function was not or only moderately altered, induction of liver damage by CCl4 resulted in a transfer of Cd2+ from liver to kidney. This transfer was evidenced by decreased total Cd2+ and metallothionein-bound Cd2+ in liver and increased levels in kidney. Urinary excretion of Cd2+ was slightly increased. When liver damage induced by CCl4 was associated with extensive kidney lesions, accumulation of Cd2+ released from liver in kidney was reduced and large amounts of Cd2+ were excreted in urine. Administration of Na2CrO4 to Cd2+-pretreated rats gave rise to a sharp and reversible increase in urinary excretion of Cd2+. This increase was proportional to amount of Cd2+ stored in kidney and to dose of Na2CrO4 administered. Cd2+ excreted in urine originated from kidney in which total Cd2+ and metallothionein-bound Cd2+ were reduced in proportion to dose of Na2CrO4 administered. Results suggested 2 mechanisms that may lead to increased urinary excretion of Cd2+; a direct release of Cd2+ into urine from damaged kidney (Na2CrO4) or a decreased tubular reabsorption of plasma circulating Cd2+ evidenced when large amounts of Cd2+ were released into blood from damaged liver (CCl4). Results supported the hypothesis that kidney damage due to chronic Cd2+ poisoning may lead to increased loss of Cd2+ stored in kidney.
