Conclusion (1) Obstructive ARF is also a vascular/ischemic ARF 1) Intratubular obstruction: intrinsic compression ( Crystal formation & Gels Polymerisation) - High intratubular pressure ( Tubular Dilatation) - Progressive RPF decrease & Peritubular capillaries occlusion 2) Ureteral obstruction : extrinsic compression (Gels Polymerisation delayed?) - Mild tubular pressure increase UUO: RPF decrease (TGF sensitization) occurs shortly +++ BUO: Increased interstitial pressure in medulla +++
Conclusion (2) Ischemic ARF is also an Obstructive ARF Early tubular obstruction - Intrinsic compression: Cellular desquamation Polymerization and gels formation (uromoduline.) - Extrinsic compression: Interstitial oedema
Conclusion (3) Factors involved in tubular patency: Renal plasma flow +++ Macromolecular Inhibitors and Solubilizing factors (citrates) Proteases, ph proliferation & inflammation Crystal clearance Open Question: Role of tubular obstruction in: - Acute Tubular and Tubulo-interstitial lesions? - CKD progression?
