title: Release of immunoassayable prostaglandin E by the human ischemic kidney.
abstract: Immunoassayable prostaglandin E concentration in renal venous plasma was measured in eight patients with renovascular hypertension. Two subjects with bilateral renal artery stenosis had similar concentrations from both renal veins. The six subjects with unilateral artery stenosis had greater concentration on the stenotic side in each case, suggesting that the human ischemic kidney produces increased amounts of prostaglandins.
