Effect of direct/ipsilateral and remote/contralateral injury on renal function, pressure natriuresis, and medullary blood flow. Rats from study II were analyzed at 6 wk following I/R and renal hemodynamics were measured in response to increases in renal perfusion pressure. A: glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measured by inulin clearance. B: urinary flow rate. C: sodium excretion. D: medullary blood flow by laser Doppler flow. The N for each group is shown. *P < 0.05 by ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls post hoc test measuring the high-pressure point in remote and direct groups relative to the sham-operated control group.
