Popis: Abstract Cardiorenal syndromes type 1 and 2 are complex disorders in which cardiac dysfunction leads to kidney dysfunction. However, the mechanisms remain incompletely explained, during pulmonary hypertension in particular. The objective of this study is to develop an original preclinical model of cardiorenal syndrome secondary to a pulmonary hypertension in piglets. Twelve 2-month-old Large White piglets were randomized in two groups: (1) induction of pulmonary hypertension by ligation of the left pulmonary artery and iterative embolizations of the right lower pulmonary artery, or (2) Sham interventions. We evaluated the cardiac function using right heart catheterization, echocardiography and measurement of biochemistry markers). Kidney was characterized using laboratory blood and urine tests, histological evaluation, immunostainings for renal damage and repair, and a longitudinal weekly assessment of the glomerular filtration rate using creatinine-based estimation and intravenous injection of an exogenous tracer on one piglet. At the end of the protocol (6 weeks), the mean pulmonary artery pressure (32 ± 10 vs. 13 ± 2 mmHg; p = 0.001), pulmonary vascular resistance (9.3 ± 4.7 vs. 2.5 ± 0.4 WU; p = 0.004) and central venous pressure were significantly higher in the pulmonary hypertension group while the cardiac index was not different. Piglets with pulmonary hypertension had higher troponin I. We found significant tubular damage and an increase in albuminuria in the pulmonary hypertension group and negative correlation between pulmonary hypertension and renal function. We report here the first porcine model of cardiorenal syndrome secondary to pulmonary hypertension.
