Abstract: Arterial hypertension is a serious medical condition that significantly increases the risks of heart, brain, kidney, and other diseases affecting 1.28 billion adults worldwide. The authors employed an animal model with wild-type (Floxed) and CD-specific deletion of renin (CD renin KO) mice. In animals, immunofluorescence analysis of renal sections from mice after 5 days of acute pyelonephritis revealed apical plasma membrane targeting of AQP2 and pS256-AQP2 in inner medullary collecting ducts. CD renin KO mice had blunted HK-induced intrarenal renin response and developed impaired kaliuresis and elevated plasma potassium level. [Extracted from the article]
