Popis: The characteristics of ureteral peristaltic rate response and bolus volume are investigated with electrophysiological methods during water and osmotic load diuresis. It is shown that the maximum rate of peristalsis during sustained diuresis is limited by the lowest detected mode in the interperistaltic interval distribution and is accompanied with a reduction in the speed of transmission and ureteral dilation. Comparative data on the symmetry of urine flow between the two kidneys and ureteral peristalsis at constant and transient diuresis are also presented in terms of bolus volume per interval.
