A minor increase in urinary albumin excretion (microalbuminuria) is known to predict adverse
renal and cardiovascular events in diabetic and hypertensive patients. Recent intriguing …

Studied were the effects of myocardial infarction (MI) on mild renal function loss in unilateral
nephrectomized (UnX) rats. UnX was performed, followed after 1 wk by a variable MI (UnX+ …

The present study examined whether an abnormality in the myogenic response of renal
arterioles that impairs autoregulation of renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular capillary …

ABSTRACT. In experimental animal models of renal disease the degree of renal damage
varies between individuals. This could be caused by variation in the noxious event or by …

The responses to changes in renal perfusion pressure (RPP) were compared in 12-wk-old
fawn-hooded hypertensive (FHH), fawn-hooded low blood pressure (FHL), and August …

The number of patients with hypertension-associated end-stage renal failure (ESRF)
continues to increase despite improved antihypertensive management and early detection …

Effects of cardiovascular dysfunction on renal function have been poorly characterized.
Therefore, we investigated the relation between a first ischemic cardiac event and long-term …

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD),
which is associated with a decrease in renal myogenic tone - part of renal autoregulatory …

Objective Angiotensin (1–7) is an active component of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone
system. Its exact role in renal vascular function is unclear. We therefore studied the effects of …

Background. Recent observational studies show that reduced renal function is an independent
risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. Previously, we reported that …
