Renal biopsies in hypertension.

چکیده
The examination of a piece of kidney cortex taken during sympathectomy for hypertension affords a method of studying the pathological changes during life. The present study has been undertaken to see if the severity of the vascular changes influenced the response to sympathectomy and other surgical methods for the lowering of blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Several other features that emerged in this investigation are also described.
