Effect of Increased Renal Venous Pressure on Renal Function

Abstract

The APS Journal Legacy Content is the corpus of 100 years of historical scientific research from the American Physiological Society research journals. This package goes back to the first issue of each of the APS journals including the American Journal of Physiology, first published in 1898. The full text scanned images of the printed pages are easily searchable. Downloads quickly in PDF format.

Mechanisms of Edema Formation in Chronic Experimental Pericarditis With Effusion 1

“…The resultant renal venous pressures were in the range induced by Blake and colleagues (52). Our data on sodium clearances obtained early in the course of pericarditis with effusion correspond well with the findings of these investigators.…”

Acute heart failure as “acute endothelitis” — Interaction of fluid overload and endothelial dysfunction

“…This observation is important since venous pressure modulates sodium excretion too. Unilateral renal vein constriction decreases sodium excretion in dogs, an effect more prominent in volume-expanded animals [37]. An increase in renal venous pressure, while arterial pressure is unchanged, decreases sodium excretion in isolated perfused kidney in dogs [36].…”

A Study of the Mechanisms of Edema Formation in Patients with the Nephrotic Syndrome 1

“…Evidence suggesting that primary tubular preponderance may play a part in the genesis of edema in the nephrotic syndrome has been reviewed recently (2). Possible factors are antidiuretic substances and adrenal cortical hormones (36,37,(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55), increased intrarenal pressure due to renal interstitial edema or to ascites (29,(56)(57)(58) Berne (64). Nothing is as yet known of the mechanisms whereby any of these factors are brought into operation.…”
