چکیده

• The development of the couutercnrrent hypothesis as an explanation for the osmotic gradient from cortex to papilla of the kidney has again stimulated investigation of the intrarenal distribution of blood flow. Theoretical considerations have emphasized the necessity of a relatively low medullary blood flow for the maintenance of this gradient. However, present methods of measuring renal blood flow in the intact animal do not estimate the distx-ibution of flow to the medulla. Trueta and co-workers demonstrated by renal angiography that medullary flow was slower than that of the cortex; these observations have been confirmed by Kramer et al.,'' who found that the medullary transit time of Evans blue dye was much longer than that of the cortex. In the present investigation, a method has been developed for determining distribution of renal blood flow in the unanesthetized dog by monitoring the disappearance of Kr from the kidney after injection of the isotope into the chronically catheterized renal artery; no blood samples are needed for the measurement. .Kr**, an inexpensive and readily available isotope, was used by Brun and coworkers" to measure renal blood flow by the modified ICety technique; they were, at that time, unaware of the gamma emissions from Kr'\ Although Kr is primarily a beta emitter, 0.6% of its disintegrations are gamma

Distribution of blood flow within the skin of the rabbit with particular reference to hair growth.

• Isotopic clearance techniques using radioactive inert gases have permitted assessment of the capillary blood flow in a number of organs. In certain organs, such as heart and testis, the clearance curve is a monotonic exponential function suggesting uniform distribution of the capillary blood flow. However, in other organs such as the kidney, the clearance curve can be analyzed into a number o...

Angiotensin as a possible intrarenal hormone in isolated dog kidneys.

The distribution of renal blood flow was measured in isolated blood-perfused dog kidneys using radioactive labeled microspheres. The kidneys were perfused at a constant systolic pressure of 140 mm Hg. For the first 50 minutes of perfusion, flow to the outer zones of the renal cortex was 79 ± 2% (SE) of the total renal blood flow, and inner cortical blood flow accounted for 21 ± 2%. With continu...
