Background: Ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) is one of the major causes of acute kidney injury (AKI). Citrate reduces hypoxia-induced mitochondrial energetic deficits in isolated proximal tubules. Moreover, citrate anticoagulation is now frequently used in renal replacement therapy. In the present study a rat model of I/R-induced AKI was utilized to examine renal protection by citrate in vivo. Methods: AKI was induced by bilateral renal clamping (40 min) followed by reperfusion (3 h). Citrate was infused at three different concentrations (0.3 mmol/kg/h; 0.6 mmol/kg/h and 1.0 mmol/kg/h) continuously for 60 min before and 45 min after ischemia. Plasma calcium concentrations were kept stable by infusion of calcium gluconate. The effect of citrate was evaluated by biomonitoring, blood and plasma parameters, histopathology and tissue ATP content. Results: In comparison to the normoxic control group bilateral renal ischemia led to an increase of creatinine and lactate dehydrogenase activity and a decrease in tissue ATP content and was accompanied by a drop in mean arterial blood pressure. Infusion of 1.0 mmol/kg/h citrate led to lower creatinine and reduced LDH activity compared to the I/R control group and a tendency for higher tissue ATP content. Pre-ischemic infusion of 1.0 mmol/kg/h citrate stabilized blood pressure during ischemia. Conclusions: Citrate has a protective effect during I/R-induced AKI, possibly by limiting the mitochondrial deficit as well as by beneficial cardiovascular effects. This strengthens the rationale of using citrate in continuous renal replacement therapy and encourages consideration of citrate infusion as a therapeutic treatment for AKI in humans.
