Why the study?
Does the presence of an untouched kidney affect aldosterone secretion rates in rats with experimental renal hypertension?
Does the presence of an untouched kidney affect aldosterone secretion rates in rats with experimental renal hypertension?
The increase in aldosterone secretion in experimental renal hypertension depends on the presence of the untouched contralateral kidney.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No change to clinical hypertension care warranted; leaves open contralateral kidney contribution to aldosterone in experimental models.
Singer et al. (1963) studied this question.
