Abstract: RATIONALE: It is unclear how septic shock causes acute kidney injury (AKI) and whether this is associated with histological change. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine the nature and extent of changes in renal structure and function over time in an ovine model of septic shock. METHODS: Fifteen sheep were instrumented with a renal artery flow probe and renal vein cannula. Ten were given intravenous E. coli to induce septic shock and five acted as controls. Animals were mechanically ventilated for 48 hours, while receiving protocol guided parenteral fluids and a norepinephrine infusion to maintain mean arterial pressure. Renal biopsies were taken every 24 hours or whenever animals were oliguric for two hours. A renal pathologist, blinded to tissue source, systematically quantified histological appearance under light and electron microscopy for 31 pre-specified structural changes. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Sheep given E. coli developed septic shock, oliguria, increased serum creatinine and reduced creatinine clearance (AKI) but there were no changes over time in renal blood flow between groups (P>0.30) or over time within groups (P>0.50). Renal oxygen consumption increased only in non-septic animals (P=0.01) but there was no between-group difference in renal lactate flux (P>0.50). There was little structural disturbance in all biopsies and, while some cellular appearances changed over time, the only difference between septic and non-septic animals was mesangial expansion on electron microscopy. CONCLUSIONS: In an intensive care supported model of Gram-negative septic shock, early AKI was not associated with changes in renal blood flow, oxygen delivery or histological appearance. Other mechanisms must contribute to septic AKI
