Evidence for patchy renal vasoconstriction in man: observation by CT scan.
We report the first demonstration of patchy vasoconstriction of the kidney in man, together with temporary impairment of renal function. Observations were made by computerized tomography (CT scan). Such vasoconstriction might occur during the mild form or the recovery phase of acute renal failure.
