The renal function, including sodium excretion rates, were studied in 27 patients with early
essential hypertension, before and during angiotensin infusions. The patients had a …

A continuing medical education quiz on this article (one hour of Category 1 credit) appears
on page A125 of this issue. This study assessed renal sodium handling in a group of …

Eleven patients with renovascular arterial hypertension were studied, 9 of whom had
unilateral renal artery stenosis and 2 bilateral renal artery stenosis. Angiotensin increased …

Patients with arterial hypertension excrete a sodium load more rapidly than do individuals
with normal blood pressure. The relationship of this abnormal sodium excretory response to …

There is controversy about the relationship between sodium intake and the prevalence of
high blood pressure. Part of this controversy relates to how an increase in sodium intake …

It is postulated that the increase in peripheral resistance in essential hypertension is largely
due to the observed rise in the circulating level of a sodium transport inhibitor. Evidence is …

To investigate the mechanism whereby blood pressure rises with NaCl loading in salt-
sensitive essential hypertension, salt-sensitivity index was determined along with sodium …

Excretion of infused sodium, chloride, and water increased proportionately in patients with
progressively more severe grades of hypertension and of increased renal vascular …

In a comparative study the influence of changes in dietary sodium intake on blood pressure,
renal function, extracellular fluid volume, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and …

The renal hemodynamic response to subpressor doses of angiotensin II (AII; 0.1 and 0.5
ng/min/kg) was investigated in untreated 49-year-old men (n= 50) representing a wide blood …
