The effect of main artery occlusion of one kidney on blood pressure of dogs.
Occluding the main artery of one kidney in each of six dogs resulted in an average increase in the renin concentration of the peripheral blood from the original 0.040 to 0.198 milliunit/ml of serum. During the same time (3-4 days), the occlusion also resulted in a significant rise of directly measured mean systemic blood pressure from an average basal level of 104 to 139 mm Hg.
