TRANSPLANTATION STUDIES OF THE ROLE OF THE KIDNEY IN LONG-TERM BLOOD PRESSURE REDUCTION FOLLOWING BRIEF ACE INHIBITOR TREATMENT IN YOUNG SPONTANEOUSLY HYPERTENSIVE RATS

1. Brief treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in young spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) causes a persistent reduction in blood pressure associated with a relatively selective reduction in renal vascular resistance. 2. To study the possible role of the kidney in this long-term hypotensive effect, we transplanted kidneys from untreated SHR into SHR that had been treated with perindopril (3 mg/kg per day) between 6 and 10 weeks of age and also transplanted kidneys from perindopril-pretreated SHR into untreated SHR. After transplantation, the remaining native kidney was removed so that only donor kidneys remained. 3. Untreated SHR that received kidneys from perindopril-pretreated SHR showed an initial fall in blood pressure followed by a rapid increase in pressure, weight loss and early death. 4. The transplantation of kidneys from control SHR into perindopril-pretreated SHR resulted in a rise in blood pressure that obviated the long-term reduction seen normally in these animals. 5. Kidneys from perindopril-pretreated SHR may be susceptible to the high blood pressure in untreated SHR. 6. The blood pressure increase in perindopril-pretreated SHR that accompanies substitution of the native kidneys by kidneys from untreated SHR further supports the hypothesis that the kidney is responsible for the long-term pressure effects following ACE inhibition in young SHR.     

Atraumatic method of renal blood flow estimation by 133XenoninhaIation and its application to transplanted kidneys

Non-invasive measurement of organ blood flow can be achieved by tracing the elimination patterns of 133Xe administered by inhalation. An adaption of the method for the estimation of renal blood flow was developed. The 133Xe is accumulated in the tissue by re-breathing for 1 min and the time course of its washout from the kidney is followed for 14 min thereafter. Normal values were determined in ten dogs and forty-five healthy human volunteers. In man they were similar to results obtained with 131I-hippuran clearance. When flow rates were between 250 and 600 ml/100 g/min the correlation coefficient was 0.84. Only in cases with high cortex flow rates (greater than 600 ml/100 g/min) did the inhalation method give values higher than those determined by the 131I-hippuran clearance. In dogs the results closely correlated with results obtained by direct intra arterial xenon injection (r = 0.96). The value of the inhalation method in routine examination of patients with kidney transplants and its suitability for the early detection of ongoing rejection is demonstrated.

Obstructed Hemivagina with Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly

The association of obstructed hemivagina with ipisilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) is a well-described entity. While there has been an increased familiarity with this disorder, the exact incidence of OHVIRA is unknown. Our aim was to review the available literature on this topic, look at common presentations, and uncommon presentations. This condition is a well-described entity but requires careful evaluation, because unique presentations do occur. Diagnostic challenges include time of presentation and symptoms associated with presentation. Surgical challenges include microperforation of the hemivaginal septum, pelvic inflammatory disease, thick septum, or high septum. Each of these must be managed carefully. Although a solitary kidney is frequently thought to be associated with OHVIRA, dysplastic kidneys, pelvic kidneys, or ectopic ureters can occur. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential for relief of symptoms and prevention of complications. To minimize problems associated with delayed diagnosis, magnetic resonance imaging evaluation is recommended along with referral to a center with expertise in these conditions.     

SOCIAL WORK CONSULTATION FOR SMALL HOSPITALS

Rural health care settings are often small and have limited resources to devote to programs such as social services. This article describes a social work consultation program designed to upgrade health care in small hospitals lacking social service departments or personnel. Consultation services were directed toward the training and use of existing staff, rather than the more common arrangement of direct service provision by the consultant. Strategies for consulting across disciplines are suggested.
