The Salutary Blood Pressure of a Solitary Kidney

Long term effects of kidney donation on blood pressure and kidney function of donors

Introduction: Kidney transplantation from a live donor has many advantages, but the donor should undergo a major surgery and accept potential morbidity and mortality. In this study, we evaluated the long term effects of nephrectomy on renal function and blood pressure of kidney donors. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we assessed 195 kidney donors. The controls were 100 healthy individu...

Evolution of blood pressure in children with congenital and acquired solitary functioning kidney

BACKGROUND It is not yet clear if blood pressure and renal function changes evolve differently in children with a congenital or acquired solitary functioning kidney. This study aims to assess if there are any differences between these two types of solitary kidney patients. METHODS Current research is a retrospective study assessing the evolution of glomerular filtration rate, proteinuria, and...

The Kidney in Blood Pressure Regulation

Despite extensive animal and clinical experimentation, the mechanisms responsible for the normal regulation of arterial pressure and development of essential or primary hypertension remain unclear. One basic concept was championed by Guyton and other authors [1–4]: the long-term regulation of arterial pressure is intimately linked to the ability of the kidneys to excrete sufficient sodium chlor...
