Unilateral renal denervation (RDN) does not modulate renal damage or renal leukocyte infiltration after 3 wk of high-salt diet. A and B: flow cytometry results from infiltrated kidney leukocytes. C, top: light microscopy of trichrome-stained kidney sections showing glomerulus, ×10. Bottom: renal outer medulla at ×4 with protein casts (arrows). D and E: quantification of renal histological damage by glomerular scoring and outer medulla tubular cast area. F: kidney norepinephrine concentration. *P < 0.05 vs. sham operated (Sham). Two-sided t-test used for all panels.
