Further study into obstructive jaundice and ischaemic renal damage.

Renal ischaemia for one hour in two groups of Gunn rats, one with and the other without bile-duct ligation, produced comparable reversible renal tubular lesions in both groups. Since Gunn rats have an unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia, which is unaffected by bile-duct ligation, it seems likely that the high levels of bilirubin glucuronide are responsible for sensitizing the renal tubules to ischaemia, possibly by depressing cell respiration.
