Gastric Secretory Response to Acute Isotonic Hypervolemia.

Abstract

The effects of acute isotonic extracellular fluid volume expansion were studied in conditioned, anesthetized dogs who underwent pyloric ligation and creation of an external gastric fistula. A hypervolemic state was produced with intravenous Ringer's lactate solution. The canine stomach responded as a 'third-kidney' by significantly increasing gastric juice volume (528 per cent) and gastric acid output (696 per cent). This occurred paradoxically in the presence of a lactate load and a metabolic alkalosis.
