| Popis: | A study of the changes in excretory renal function after renal revascularization for hypertension is performed in kidneys monitored with both preoperative and postoperative split renal function studies. Although the changes in creatinine clearances and effective renal plasma flows were not statistically significant for the total group, those kidneys with severe reductions in function were significantly benefitted. Seven of the eight kidneys with creatinine clearances less than 30 ml/min preoperatively had significant increases in creatinine clearances postoperatively (P < 0.02). Likewise, all seven kidneys with effective renal plasma flows less than 100 ml/min before operation had statistically significant improvements (P < 0.005). The fact that all patients in this study had a favorable blood pressure response to revascularization points to the independence of the pressure-regulating mechanisms and excretory functions of the kidney. |
