Supports pressure natriuresis role in salt-sensitive hypertension with reduced renal mass; leaves open translation to human CKD.
Does pressure natriuresis and decreased ANG II formation prevent sodium retention and hypertension during high sodium intake in dogs with reduced kidney mass?
Pressure natriuresis and decreased ANG II formation are critical mechanisms for minimizing sodium retention and hypertension during high sodium intake in the setting of reduced kidney mass.
