As a consequence of this lack of a precise diagnostic criterion for the selection of patients, many are unnecessarily subjected to
Summario in Interlingua
Le non-tractate plasma del sanguine venose obtenite ab cata-un del renes de 56 patientes esseva essayate pro activitate pressori in le ratto. Le resultatos de iste essayage esseva correlationate con le constatationes clinic facite per altere disponibile procedimentos diagnostic e con le responsa del tension sanguinee a subsequente nephrectomia o reparo renovascular. Le datos assi establite indica que le methodo de essayage usate representa un accurate medio pro deteger patientes in qui chirurgia es promittente como tractamento de hypertension secundari a unilateral morbo renal e etiam pro predicer si nephrectomia o reparo renovascular va evocar un favorabile responsa. Le resultatos se trova de accordo con le opinion que le reversibile hypertension de patientes qui responde favorabilemente a nephrectomia o reparo renovascular es un responsa al elaboration, per le afficite ren, de un circulante agente pressori, per contrasto con le casos de patientes qui suffre de hypertension essential o de altere distincte formas de hypertension e in qui nulle agente pressori pote esser trovate.
