Abstract
- In order to investigate the effects of methoxyflurane on reneal functions, small dose of methoxyflurane was administered intravenously ot rabbits without anesthesia, or directly injected into the renal artery of the rabbits under urethane anesthesia and the following results were obtained. 1) 5ml/kg of 0.5% saturated solution of methoxyflurane administered intravenously over 10 minutes did not influence the excretion of urine, creatinine, elecrolyte or osmolarity. 2) 1ml/kg of the solution injected directly into the renal artery over 10 minutes markedly reduced urine volume. 3) Reduced urine volume was closely related to decreased renal blood flow by direct administeration of methoxyflurane into the renal artery. 4) From the above results, it is suggested that methoxyflurane has a direct effect on renal functions by hemodynamic change in the renal circulation.
