Renal tubular permeability was studied by microinjection techniques during increased intrarenal pressure in anesthetized diuretic rats. Intrarenal pressure, as evidenced by intratubular pressure (ITP), was increased by elevation of ureteral pressure, partial renal venous constriction, or massive saline diuresis. Various combinations of radioactive inulin, creatinine, mannitol, sucrose, and iothalamate in isotonic saline were microinjected into superficial proximal and distal convolutions, and recovery of the isotopes was measured in the urine.
