The effect of renal hydrodynamics on immune complex deposition.
The role of renal hydrodynamics on renal deposition of immune complexes was evaluated in acute serum sickness. Using i.v. radiolabelled antigen in rabbits under a variety of hydrodynamic alterations, these studies suggested that although intrarenal hydrodynamics influence renal deposition of immune complexes factors other than intrarenal hydrostatic pressure may be important.
