An evaluation of techniques used for the production of temporary renal ischaemia.
Five techniques of producing temporary renal ischaemia have been evaluated in the rat. Damage was assessed by measuring inulin clearance, change in renal cortical intracellular water and 125I-fibrin deposition. Continuous renal artery occlusion produces significantly less renal damage than the other techniques commonly used.
