title: Time course of denervation diuresis and natriuresis in the anaesthetized rat.
abstract: The effect of unilateral renal sympathectomy on renal excretion of water and sodium was studied in three groups of Inactin-anaesthetized rats: 1-3, 4-19, and 20-35 weeks after denervation. Increased sodium excretion from the denervated kidney in the absence of changes in GFR was observed up to 35 weeks following renal denervation. Thus, in a functional sense, renal reinnervation may have only been partial during the time interval studied.
