Figure 3. Relationship between NaCl- and NaHCO3-induced changes in MAP, renal blood flow (RBF) and renal vascular resistance (RVR) in all subjects combined.
NaCl-induced changes in MAP (A), RBF (B) and RVR (C) are highly predictive of NaHCO3-induced changes. For all subjects combined, the magnitude of the NaHCO3-induced changes amounts to about half that induced by NaCl. NaCl- and NaHCO3-induced effects are presented as % change from low-NaCl baseline.
