Abstract
When the renal arteries of dogs are constricted, a persistent hypertension develops. Both the systolic and diastolic pressures are elevated. Renal function, as indicated by the non-protein N of the blood and the phenolsulphonephthalcin renal function test, is not significantly altered by renal artery constriction of the degree employed in these expts.; nor are there any histological changes observable in the kidneys. Denervation of the kidneys does not prevent the development of this hypertension. Histological examinations have shown the denervation to be complete.
