Enhanced acid excretion may be due to a local effect on the diuretic target cell (a shift of Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> reabsorption from NaCl transport to Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\/H<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> exchange), or an effect at a distance: namely, increases in luminal fluid flow or luminal Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> concentration may enhance more distal proton secretion. Both local and distance effects are supported by micropuncture data. In the present work, mathematical models of the distal convoluted tubule (DCT)\/connecting tubule (CNT) (Weinstein AM, Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 289: F721\u2013F741, 2005), and cortical and medullary collecting ducts (CD) (Weinstein AM, Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 283: F1237\u2013F1251, 2002) have been concatenated to yield a model of rat DN. Among the segments of this DN, the DCT-CNT is responsible for the major portion of distal acidification. Predictions from the model calculations include the following. 1) With increasing distal Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> delivery, there is little change in net acid excretion, but a shift in acidification locus from shared DCT and CNT contributions, to DCT prominence. 2) Urinary acidification by thiazides is primarily local (in the DCT) via the shift in Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> reabsorption from NaCl cotransport to entry via NHE2. Increased NaCl delivery to the CNT increases \u03b2-cell HCO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup> secretion, and thus blunts urine acidification. 3) In contrast to conclusions drawn from the isolated CD model, inclusion of the CNT now reproduces the observed distal acidification defect found with ENaC block, so that this action of amiloride appears to be sufficient to produce \u201cvoltage-dependent\u201d distal renal tubular acidosis. 4) The effect of furosemide to enhance distal urinary acidification is not reproduced by the model without major upregulation of CNT \u03b1-cell transport, perhaps as a result of increased luminal flow. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajprenal.90356.2008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,21]],"date-time":"2008-08-21T00:24:12Z","timestamp":1219278252000},"page":"F1353-F1364","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["A mathematical model of distal nephron acidification: diuretic effects"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"295","author":[{"given":"Alan M.","family":"Weinstein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"24","reference":[{"key":"R1","unstructured":"Arruda JAL, Subbarayudu K, Dytko G, Mola R, Kurtzman NA.
