title: Influence of sympathetic nerve activity on renal haemodynamics and release of renin. A preliminary communication.
abstract: The role of the sympathetic nerve system is still unknown in different types of hypertension. The procedure used in the evaluation of suspect renovascular hypertension has been revised in such a way that renal blood flow, renal arterial blood pressure and plasma renin activity in renal vein could be determined prior to and after splanchnic blockade. A new divice-videovolumeter-has been used to investigate the blood flow. Some preliminary data are given.
