Hypothesis-generating for renal genotype in hypertension; leaves open human translation and does not alter practice.
Does the genotype of a renal homograft influence blood pressure in rats with different genetic propensities to hypertension?
This preclinical study demonstrates that the genotype of a transplanted kidney significantly influences the recipient's blood pressure, highlighting the kidney's central role in genetic hypertension.
Dahl et al. (1972) studied this question.
