Abstract

Radionuclide tracing was performed to study renal function before and after hypotensive therapy in 95 patients suffering from nephrogenic hypertension with renal failure. It is shown that if hypotensive therapy in such patients brings about a blood pressure fall more than 25% of the initial blood pressure, renal function declines, the suppression being especially evident in severe renal insufficiency.
