Effects of graded renal artery constriction on blood pressure, renal artery pressure, and plasma renin activity in Goldblatt hypertension

WR Murphy, TG Coleman, TL Smith and KA Stanek

One-kidney, one clip (1K1C) and two-kidney, one clip (2K1C) Goldblatt hypertension was produced in rats by placing 0.30, 0.25, or 0.20 mm silver clips on the left renal artery. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and plasma renin activity (PRA) were measured in conscious rats 24 to 28 days after clipping. The MAP in control rats (n = 38) was 116 +/- 1 mm Hg (mean +/- SEM). The 0.30, 0.25, and 0.20 mm clips produced MAPs of 133 +/- 2, 161 +/- 5, and 189 +/- 5 mm Hg, respectively, in 1K1C rats, and 123 +/- 2, 129 +/- 3, and 172 +/- 5 mm Hg in 2K1C rats (n = 17-20). When 1K1C and 2K1C groups were compared, MAP was significantly greater in 1K1C rats at all clip sizes. No treatment group's PRA was different than control (4.8 +/- 0.4 ng AI/ml/hr), except for the 0.20 mm 2K1C rats (16.2 +/- 3.1 ng AI/ml/hr). Renal artery pressure (RAP) was measured in another series of experiments and was not different from control in all but the 0.20 mm 1K1C rats. With identical clip sizes, 2K1C rats showed smaller pressure gradients than 1K1C across the clips: 0.30 mm, 8.5 +/- 1.7 vs 10.7 +/- 1.9 mm Hg; 0.25 mm, 16.5 +/- 1.2 vs 42.1 +/- 7.5 mm Hg; 0.20 mm, 51 +/- 5.3 vs 79.1 +/- 5.7 mm Hg (n = 8- 12). Therefore, both the increase in MAP and the pressure gradient across the clip were greater in the 1K1C rats at every clip size.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
