Chronic neutral phosphate supplementation induces sustained, renal metabolic alkalosis
Chronic neutral phosphate supplementation induces sustained, renal metabolic alkalosis. The aim of the present study was to test whether intravenous neutral phosphate supplementation, recently shown in our laboratory to acutely stimulate proton secretion in the distal nephron, was able to induce a sustained metabolic alkalosis. Neutral Na and K phosphate supplementation for seven days, with equivalent reduction in chloride supply and unchanged intake of sodium and potassium, in ADX rats receiving fixed physiological doses of aldosterone and dexa-methasone (group 1, N = 7), was responsible for a severe metabolic alkalosis (MA; Δ [HCO3] 11 ± 1.3mM, and Δ pH 0.11 ± 0.06 unit). Metabolic alkalosis was at least in part of renal origin, since net acid excretion (NAE) transiently increased, principally due to an increment in titratable acid excretion rate. Balances were equilibrated for sodium and negative for chloride and potassium, which may have contributed to the severity of the MA. Chronic i.v. neutral Na phosphate, without change in potassium and chloride supply, in ADX rats receiving the same doses of steroids (group 2, N = 5), was responsible for a less severe MA (Δ [HCO3] 7.5 ± 0.9mM, and Δ pH 0.07 ± 0.01 unit), also of renal origin. In this group, balances were positive for chloride and sodium and equilibrated for potassium. Finally, neutral Na and K phosphate supplementation with reduction in chloride supply in intact rats (group 3, N = 4) was also able to induce a MA (Δ [HCO3] 5.5 ± 1.8mM, and Δ pH 0.06 ± 0.01 unit) of renal origin, with balances negative for chloride and equilibrated for potassium and sodium. In all groups, the generation and maintenance of MA probably resulted from stimulated proton secretion in the distal nephron, as suggested by the observed increase of PCO2 over HCO3 concentration ratio in the urine and a fall in urine pH despite augmented urinary buffer content throughout the phosphate infusion period. Glomerular filtration rate did not significantly vary in any group. In conclusion, chronic supplementation of neutral phosphate appears to stimulate per se proton secretion in the distal nephron, independently of sodium, chloride, and potassium balances, and adrenal steroid secretion. Thus neutral phosphate supplementation should be added to the previously known factors able to induce MA
