Abeshouse (1945), in reviewing 228 cases of renal thrombosis of all varieties, found ninetyeight of these in children less than a year old, and of this total ninety occurred in infants during the...

Renal dopamine system in chronic renal insufficiency

In the periphery, physiological dopamine increases renal blood flow, decreases renal resistance and acts on the kidney tubule to enhance natriuresis and diuresis. Dopamine receptors can be divided into D1-like (D1 and D5) receptors that stimulate adenylyl cyclase and D2-like (D2, D3 and D4) receptors that inhibit adenylyl cyclase. Both the D1-like and D2-like receptors are expressed in the kidn...
