Both normal saline (NS) and lactated Ringer\u2019s solution (LR) are commonly used for cooling and volume resuscitation in heatstroke patients; however, their specific impacts on patient outcomes during heatstroke management are poorly understood. Given that the systemic inflammatory response and multiple-organ damage caused by heat toxicity are the main pathophysiological features of heatstroke, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of NS and LR on the production of inflammatory cytokines and the functional and structural integrity of renal and cardiac tissues in a rat model of heatstroke.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Fifty-five male Sprague\u2012Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: cold NS or LR infusion postheatstroke (4\u00a0\u2103, 4\u00a0ml\/100\u00a0g, over 10\u00a0min) and NS or LR infusion without heatstroke induction (control groups). Vital signs, arterial blood gases, inflammatory cytokines, and renal and cardiac function indicators, such as serum creatinine and cTnI, were monitored after treatment. Tissue samples were analysed via HE staining, electron microscopy, and fluorescence staining for apoptosis markers, and protein lysates were used for Western blotting of pyroptosis-related proteins.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Compared with LR-treated heatstroke rats, NS-treated heatstroke rats presented lower mean arterial pressures, worsened metabolic acidosis, and higher levels of IL-6 and TNF-\u03b1 in both the serum and tissue. These rats also presented increased serum creatinine, troponin, catecholamines, and NGAL and reduced renal clearance. Histological and ultrastructural analyses revealed more severe tissue damage in NS-treated rats, with increased apoptosis and increased expression of NLRP3\/caspase-1\/GSDMD signalling molecules. Similar differences were not observed between the control groups receiving either NS or LR infusion. One NS-treated heatstroke rat died within 24\u00a0h, whereas all the LR-treated and control rats survived.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>NS resuscitation in heat-exposed rats significantly promotes metabolic acidosis and the inflammatory response, leading to greater functional and structural organ damage than does LR.
