Popis: Angiotensin II (ANG II) is a potent vasoconstrictor and may reduce renal blood flow (RBF), causing renal hypoxia. Hypotensive hemorrhage elevates plasma ANG II levels and is associated with increased risk of acute kidney injury. We hypothesized that ANG II antagonism prevents renal vasoconstriction and hypoxia caused by hemorrhage. Pigs were anaesthetized, surgically prepared, and randomized to intravenous losartan (1.5 mg·kg−1·h−1, n = 8) or an equal volume of intravenous Ringer acetate (vehicle-treated, n = 8). Hemorrhage was induced by continuous aspiration of blood to reach and sustain mean arterial pressure of
