Angiotensin effect in the human kidney.
The renal effect of angiotensin has been recorded in patients by determination of variations in the length of the kidney and by selective injection of contrast medium into the renal artery with special angiographic techniques. The experiments demonstrate the rapid onset of the angiotensin effect on the renal vessels. The effect on kidney length was considerably prolonged compared with the vascular effect.
