Review of mechanisms underlying renal hypertension in small animals to guide rational therapy.
Harriet M. Syme (2011) conducted a review in Hypertension in small animal kidney disease. Kidney disease is commonly associated with hypertension in small animals through multiple mechanisms, the consideration of which may aid in the rational choice of therapy.
