The Role of Renal Vascular Reactivity in the Development of Renal Dysfunction in Compensated and Decompensated Congestive Heart Failure

Conclusion: Greater renal vasoconstrictor responsiveness to ANG II or reduced renal vasodilatation in response to Ach do not play a decisive role in the development of renal dysfunction in ACF rats with compensated and decompensated CHF. On the other hand, exaggerated renal vascular responsiveness to NE may be here a contributing causative factor, active in either CHF phase.Kidney Blood Press Res 2018;43:1730 –1741
