| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To elucidate the mechanisms of development of anemia and leukocyte abnormality in chronic heart failure, we performed animal experiments using Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rats, in which high-salt diet induces hypertension, heart failure, anemia, and an increase in neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR). We found shortened half-life of red blood cell is the main cause of anemia in DS rats, and free hemoglobin released from red blood cell might cause renal damage. We also performed animal experiments using adenine-induced nephropathy model of mouse. We found elevated serum indoxyl sulfate induces increase in NLR by distortion of leukocyte hematopoiesis in bone marrow.
