Supports renal hemodynamic mechanism for natriuresis relief in tamponade; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does pericardiocentesis alter the distribution of renal blood flow and glomerular filtrate in dogs with chronic pericardial tamponade?
In a canine model of pericardial tamponade, pericardiocentesis relieves sodium retention by redistributing renal blood flow and glomerular filtrate to superficial nephrons.
Boudreau et al. (1979) studied this question.
