tandard clearance studies were performed in mechanically ventilated intact and acutely thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) rats to document and characterize the effect of hypercapnia (HC) on urinary phosphorus excretion (UPV). HC as compared to normocapnia (NC) was associated with an increase in UPV in intact (62.5 vs. 7.93 μg/min) and TPTX (30.5 vs. 0.59 μg/min) rats, an increase in filtered load of phosphorus in intact (218 vs. 191 μg/min) and TPTX (243 vs. 146 μg/min) rats, an increase in blood bicarbonate concentration in intact (27.8 vs. 26.0 meq/liter) and TPTX (24.5 vs. 22.3 meq/liter) animals, and a decrease in blood pH in intact (7.15 vs. 7.42) and TPTX (7.07 vs. 7.39) rats. Additional TPTX rats with NC and HC were studied during phosphorus infusion at a comparable filtered load of phosphorus (NC = 307 μg/min and HC = 328 μg/min). UPV was 18.5 μg/min in NC and 85.2 μg/min in HC animals. Intact NC animals infused with NaHCO3 achieved a blood bicarbonate of 45.9 meq/liter compared to 26.0 meq/liter in intact NC NaCl-infused rats. UPV was 10.0 μg/min in the NaHCO3 and 7.93 μg/min in NaCl-infused animals. In intact HC animals infused with NaHCO3, blood pH was 7.36 compared to 7.42 in NC intact NaCl-infused animals. UPV was 83.2 μg/min in the HC bicarbonate-infused and 7.93 μg/min in the NC NaCl-infused rats. These experiments demonstrate that elevated blood carbon dioxide tension per se increases UPV. Increases in filtered load of phosphorus and blood bicarbonate which are associated with HC contribute to the phosphaturia as does parathyroid hormone. The phosphaturia is not dependent upon reduction of extracellular pH.

Having trouble reading a PDF?
PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.
Having trouble saving a PDF?
Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not
allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users:
Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...".
Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.
Having trouble printing a PDF?
- Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
- Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you
configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can
usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
