Abstract
The intravenous administration of triple typhoid vaccine to anesthetized dogs resulted in a significant increase in renal blood flow accompanied by a modest decline in systemic blood pressure. This renal hyperemia was associated with elevated renal secretory rates of renin and prostaglandin E and F. Measurements of the intracortical distribution of radiolabeled microspheres revealed a progressive decrease in outer cortical blood flow rates and a progressive increase in inner cortical flow rates. When meclofenamate, an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthetase, was administered concomitantly with triple typhoid vaccine renal hyperemia did not develop. The renal renin secretory rate increased modestly and intracortical renal blood flow was not redistributed. The increased renal blood flow after triple typhoid vaccine administration to unanesthetized dogs was also reversed by meclofenamate. The marked increase in prostaglandin secretion by the kidney during renal hyperemia following triple typhoid vaccine administration (pyrogen), and the effect of meclofenamate, is consonant with a role for increased renal synthesis and release of prostaglandins.
