Is blood pressure related to kidney size and shape?

چکیده
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between blood pressure and the size and shape of the kidneys in healthy volunteers from the community. DESIGN A cross-sectional community-based study of normal volunteers in Portsmouth City, Hampshire, UK. SUBJECTS Subjects numbered 185 (99 female), aged 19-66 years. RESULTS Blood pressure was higher in men, and in those with higher body mass index. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were correlated with the derived kidney volume. However, when corrected for age, sex and BMI the relationship was not statistically significant. Blood pressure correlated inversely with the width : length ratio of the left kidney. CONCLUSIONS Blood pressure was not correlated with kidney size in this group of adults.

Numerical simulation of effect of non-spherical particle shape and bed size on hydrodynamics of packed beds
Fluid flow has a fundamental role in the performance of packed bed reactors. Some related issues, such as pressure drop, are strongly affected by porosity, so non-spherical particles are used in industry for enhancement or creation of the desired porosity. In this study, the effects of particle shape, size, and porosity of the bed on the hydrodynamics of packed beds are investigated with three ...

متن کاملAssociation between non-matured arterio-venus fistula and blood pressure in hemodialysis patients
Background : Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a complicated kidney problem causing permanent renal failure in progressive stages. The final stage of CKD is called ESRD in which most accepted management is Hemodialysis (HD). Arterio-Venus Fistula (AVF) is the most practical way of making proper access to the blood circulatory system however, maturation of the AVF is a challenge, since there are...

The objective of this study was to determine the chronology of changes in blood pressure in renalhypertension induced by solid plexiglass clips in rats. Saw blades with the thickness of 0.21-0.22 mm wereused to make clips sized 4 × 2 × 2 mm from a piece of 2-mm thick plexiglass. Rats were subjected to shamoperation or left renal arterial clipping, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks later blood pressure, a...
