Abstract

Sensing changes in blood oxygen content (CaO2) is an important physiological role of the kidney; however, the mechanism(s) by which the kidneys sense and respond to changes in CaO2 are incompletely understood. Accurate measurements of kidney tissue oxygen tension (PktO2) may increase our understanding of renal oxygen-sensing mechanisms and could inform decisions regarding the optimal fluid for intravascular volume resuscitation to maintain renal perfusion. In some clinical settings, starch solution may be nephrotoxic, possibly due to inadequacy of tissue oxygen delivery. We hypothesized that hemodilution with starch colloid solutions would reduce PktO2 to a more severe degree than other dilu..
