Abstract
In order to investigate the possible role of the renin-angiotensin system in the regulation of intrarenal hemodynamics in hemorrhagic hypotension (HH), seven mongrel dogs have been studied under the following conditions: (a) Control, (b) HH (mean arterial pressure 70 mm Hg), and (c) HH + alpha adrenergic blockade by phenoxybenzamine (HH + POB). The following parameters were obtained for the right kidney: Intrarenal distribution of blood flow and local blood flow rates (133Xe washout technique); total renal blood flow (RBF) on the basis of the clearance and extraction ratio of PAH and the arterial hematocrit; plasma renin concentrations in the renal artery and vein by the method of Boucher and his associates; and renin release into the renal circulation.
