Post obstructive
Diuresis
DR.V.ARUL
Definition
o Dramatic increase in urine output after the release
Obstruction which influenced by
o Accumulation of total body water, sodium, and urea
o Impairment ofTubular re-absorptive capabilities
o urine production exceeding 200 mL/hour in 2 consecutive hours
or greater than 3 L/day
o More significant in bilateral ureteral obstruction and
obstruction of solitary kidney.
Risk Factors
 Edema
 Congestive Heart Failure
 Hypertension
 Azotemia (high levels of nitrogen-containing
compounds such as urea and creatinine)

response to solute

Stops after return to
euvolumeic state.
Diuresis of water beyond euvolemic
state, due to insensitivity of
collecting tubule to ADH and other
defects in urinary concentrating
ability of the kidney and tubular
reabsorption of solutes
After the release of obstruction
Contributing factors are both physiological and pathological
➢ Physiological
1.Excess Na and water retention
2.Retention of urea and non reabsorbable solutes
3. Accumulation of ANP
➢ Pathological
1.Decreased tubular reabsorption of Na
2.Concentration defect
3.Increased tubular flow reducing equilibration time for reabsorption of Na and water
concentration
Normal urine concentrating ability requires a hypertonic
medullary interstitial gradient because of
– active salt reabsorption from the thick ascending limb of Henle,
– urea back flux from the inner medullary collecting duct, and
– water permeability of the collecting duct mediated by vasopressin
and aquaporin water channels.
Pathophysiology
 Progressive reduction in the medullary
concentration gradient secondary to vascular washout
and down-regulation of sodium transporters in the
thick ascending loop of Henle.
 Reduction in glomerular filtration rate, which leads to
ischemia and loss of juxtamedullary nephrons.
 Reduced response of the collecting duct to circulating
antidiuretic hormone, leading to nephrogenic diabetes
insipidus.

Pathologic Diuresis
Continue > 24hrs
Urine production >200ml/hr in 2 consecutive hrs
Urine production > 3-4L/day
Release of Natriuretic Peptide
Decrease reabsorption of Sodium (NaCl) in tubule (a)
Loss of medullary gradient (a)
Reduced response of cortical duct to Anti Diuretic Hormone (b)
Impairment ofTubuloGlomerularFeedback -c
Water cannot be taken out from the tubule
ADH mechanism
•AQUAPORIN 1 (AQP1) - renal proximal
tubules, the thin descending limb of Henle, and
the descending vasa recta in the kidney.
•It promotes urinary concentration through the
countercurrent multiplier
•by facilitating water transport from the
descending limb of Henle into the interstitium
Thus dysregulation of aquaporin water
channels in the proximal tubule, thin
descending loop, and collecting duct may
contribute to the long-term polyuria and
impaired concentrating capacity caused by
obstructive nephropathy.
Accumulation of ANP
• An accumulation of vasoactive substances in BUO that could contribute to
significant post obstructive natriuresis.
 ANP
– increases afferent arteriolar dilation
– efferent arteriolar vasoconstriction, thus increasing PGC
– decreases the sensitivity of tubuloglomerular feedback
– inhibits release of renin,
– secreted ANP contributes to a profound diuresis and
natriuresis.
Clinical features

• Ureteral obstruction
– induces expression of COX-2 in collecting duct cells and
downregulation of AQP2 receptors is mediated by COX-2.
– COX-2 inhibitors prevented the downregulation of AQP2
and significantly diminished postobstructive diuresis in
rats.
• In addition, with ureteral obstruction,
– cGMP pathway has been demonstrated in both in vitro and in
vivo models to allow membrane insertion of AQP2.
– Sildenafil Citrate elevated intracellular cGMP and facilitate
collecting duct accumulation of AQP2.
• Pharmacological manipulation
