Importance of the renal medullary circulation in the control of sodium excretion and blood pressure.
The control of renal medullary perfusion and the impact of alterations in medullary blood flow on renal function have been topics of research interest for almost four decades. Many studies have examined the vascular architecture of the renal medulla, the factors that regulate renal medullary blood flow, and the influence of medullary perfusion on sodium and water excretion and arterial pressure...
متن کاملNeural control of renal medullary perfusion.
There is strong evidence that the renal medullary circulation plays a key role in long-term blood pressure control. This, and evidence implicating sympathetic overactivity in development of hypertension, provides the need for understanding how sympathetic nerves affect medullary blood flow (MBF). The precise vascular elements that regulate MBF under physiological conditions are unknown, but lik...
متن کاملRenal Medullary Carcinoma; A Rare Entity
AbstractRenal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is an uncommon aggressive neoplasm of the kidney. RMC is biologically aggressive with a very poor prognosis, and metastasis is seen in up to 95% of the patients at diagnosis or shortly thereafter. The common sites of metastasis are respectively lymph nodes, lungs, livers, and adrenal glands in order of frequency. The presence of poorly differentiated eosi...
متن کاملThe renal medullary microcirculation.
Blood flow to the renal medulla is supplied through descending vasa recta (DVR), which are derived from the efferent arterioles of juxtamedullary glomeruli. In addition to their role as conduits for blood flow, it is accepted that the vasa recta are countercurrent exchangers. That process, however, involves events which are more complicated than paracellular diffusive exchange of NaCl and urea....
متن کاملProtective effect of angiotensin II-induced increase in nitric oxide in the renal medullary circulation.
This study examined the effect of intravenous infusion of subpressor doses of angiotensin (Ang II) on renal medullary blood flow (MBF), medullary partial oxygen pressure (PO2), and nitric oxide (NO) concentration under normal conditions and during reduction of the medullary nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in anesthetized rats. With laser Doppler flowmetry and polarographic measurement of P...
