Abstract:
33
Moderate anemia is associated with increased mortality and morbidity, including acute kidney
34
injury (AKI), in surgical patients. A red blood cell (RBC)-specific antibody model was utilized
35
to determine if moderate subacute anemia could result in tissue hypoxia as a potential
36
mechanism of injury. Cardiovascular and hypoxic cellular responses were measured in
37
transgenic mice capable of expressing hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-luciferase activity
38
in vivo. Antibody-mediated anemia was associated with mild intravascular hemolysis (6 hours)
39
and splenic RBC sequestration (day 4), resulting in a nadir hemoglobin concentration of 89±13
40
g/L at day 4. At this time point, renal tissue oxygen tension (PtO2) was decreased in anemic
41
mice relative to controls (13.1±4.3 vs. 20.8±3.7 mmHg; p
