Hypothesis-generating for renin-angiotensin role in acute kidney injury; no implications for human prevention.
Does long-term saline loading prevent glycerol-induced acute renal failure in rats?
Long-term saline loading prevents glycerol-induced acute renal failure in rats, suggesting a potential protective role of renin depletion and implicating the renin-angiotensin axis in the pathogenesis.
McDonald et al. (1969) studied this question.
