Intrarenal autoregulatory mechanisms maintain renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular
filtration rate (GFR) independent of renal perfusion pressure (RPP) over a defined range (80 …

It is estimated that over 10% of the adult population in developed countries have some
degree of chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is a progressive and irreversible deterioration …

The effect of aqueous extract of petals of Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS) on the established stages
of 2-Kidney, 1-Clip renovascular hypertension was investigated in Sprague–Dawley rats …

SUMMARY 1 Blood pressure and organ perfusion are controlled by a variety of
cardiovascular control systems, such as the baroreceptor reflex and the renin–angiotensin …

Combined cardiac and renal dysfunction has gained considerable attention. Hypotheses
about its pathogenesis have been formulated, albeit based on a relatively small body of …

The review deals with the release of endothelium-derived dopamine and 6-nitrodopamine (6-
ND) and its effects on isolated vascular tissues and isolated hearts. Basal release of both …

Autoregulation of renal blood flow (RBF) is caused by the myogenic response (MR),
tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF), and a third regulatory mechanism that is independent of …

The kidney displays highly efficient autoregulation so that under steady-state conditions
renal blood flow (RBF) is independent of blood pressure over a wide range of pressure …

Objectives: Pressure autoregulation is an organ's intrinsic ability to maintain blood flow
despite changes in perfusion pressure. The purpose of this review is to discuss …

Heart and kidney interactions are fascinating, in the sense that failure of the one organ
strongly affects the function of the other. In this review paper, we analyze how principal …
