Abstract
Bilateral renal denervation, in a patient suffering from severe essential hypertension, did not change the level of arterial blood pressure. Renal efficiency, as measured by the urea clearance test and the ability of the kidneys to concentrate, was normal before and remained unchanged after denervation. The results do not support the theory that essential hypertension originates in whole or in part in the nervous mechanism of the kidneys.Keywords
