A reduction in renal perfusion normally results in dilatation of the glomerular afferent arteriole and constriction of the glomerular efferent arteriole so that glomerular capillary hydrostatic ...

ATP hydrolysis releases free adenosine into the extracellular space, which in turn acts on adenosine A1 receptors in the afferent arterioles and causes local constriction, thereby reducing RBF and ...

• Fenoldopam (a medicine that rapidly widens and relaxes blood vessels) probably reduces the risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI) (a condition where the kidneys suddenly lose their ability to ...

46 Similar to the juxtamedullary afferent arterioles, these perforating arteries are also exposed to high pressures and therefore have to transmit large pressure gradients from their parent arteries ...

Aim: To compare the Sbisa bar (Bagolini filter bar) with neutral density filters (NDF) in quantifying relative afferent pupillary defects (RAPD). Methods: 11 patients with a RAPD were graded and a ...
