title: [Hypertensive disease and renal hypertension (structural and functional studies of the kidneys using dynamic computerized tomography)].
abstract: Renal functional and structural studies were performed in 46 patients with arterial hypertension: out of them 12 had hypertensive disease, 13, chronic pyelonephritis, 21, a hypertensive type of chronic glomerulonephritis. In each case, the clinical diagnosis was evidenced by one of the invasive techniques. Dynamic computed tomography was conducted by the original methods; the findings were analyzed by taking into account time-density curves which made it possible to gain an insight into the status of blood flow and filtration in each individual kidney. Computed tomography and dynamic computed tomography revealed that hypertensive disease was characterized-by normal volume and thickness of the renal cortical layer and symmetric time-density curves, whereas a hypertensive type of chronic glomerulonephritis featured lower renal cortical layer thickness, reduced renal volume, symmetrically decrease amplitudes of the first and second peaks of the time-density curve, chronic pyelonephritis showed asymmetric time-density diagrams due to the lower density areas in the afflicted kidney.
