Abstract
Objective. To determine the role of the sympathetic nervous system in the genesis of vasorenal hypertension.
Design and methods. In Wistar rats renovascular hypertension was created by renal artery (RA) clipping in the model of “two kidneys — one clip”.
Results. A stable blood pressure (BP) increase was observed only in
38 % of rats with clipped left RA. Preceding left kidney denervation did not prevent hypertension development, but successive transection of right renal nerve led to the decrease of BP in rats with vasorenal hypertension.
Conclusions. Based on our experiments, we suggest that different mechanisms are involved in the genesis of vasorenal hypertension, and changes in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system are important factors contributing to the BP increase as a result of afferent signals from ischemic kidneys.
