Zusammenfassung:BACKGROUNDStudies have demonstrated with histological analysis and Doppler flow measurement analysis that unilateral renal ischemia, which is performed in some surgeries, interfered with the contralateral kidney, identifying the phenomenon of kidney-kidney crosstalk. OBJECTIVESTo identify the effects on the ischemic and contralateral kidney of renal ischemia induced by two types of clamping technique by analyzing the volume of kidney cells positive for Caspase 3. METHODSSixteen pigs were divided into 2 groups, as follows: A (n = 8) - clamping of left renal artery only and AV (n = 8) - clamping of left renal artery and vein. Immunohistochemical analyses (anti Caspase 3) were conducted with biopsy specimens collected from the ischemic and contralateral kidney at 0, 30, 60, and 90 minutes of ischemia and morphometric analysis was performed, taking the mean to represent the volume of the Caspase 3 positive area (%). RESULTSMorphometric analysis of specimens collected at 30, 60, and 90 minutes of ischemia showed that the mean area marked for Caspase 3 was statistically larger in the contralateral kidney than the ischemic kidney in both groups: clamped renal artery (A) and clamped renal artery and vein (AV). Comparing the ischemic and contralateral kidney, there was no statistically significant difference in the area marked for Caspase 3 between the two types of clamping. CONCLUSIONSIn the experimental model of unilateral renal ischemia, the non-ischemic kidney exhibited cell damage, demonstrated by Caspase 3 expression. The type of hilum clamping does not appear to influence the area marked for Caspase 3.
