NKCC1 inhibition may modulate renal microvascular tone; hypothesis-generating for diuretic mechanisms beyond natriuresis and requires in vivo validation.
NKCC modulation alters myogenic responses in the renal microvasculature by a mechanism independent of tubuloglomerular feedback, suggesting a role for NKCC1 in vasomotor function regulation.
Wang et al. (2006) studied this question.
