Abstract
A method was described for determination of wedged renal vein pressure in man. It was argued that in agreement with experiences from lungs and liver, the interstitial pressure in kidneys equals the wedged renal vein pressure. Normal subjects (9) and 4 patients with acute anuria following shock were examined. As it was impossible to demonstrate a raised pressure in the anuric patients, results suggested that in patients with acute renal failure following shock the anuria cannot be explained by an increased interstitial renal pressure.
