The carotid body as a putative therapeutic target for the treatment of neurogenic hypertension [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In the spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rat, hyperoxic inactivation of the carotid body (CB) produces a rapid and pronounced fall in both arterial pressure and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSA).

Renal metabolism and hypertension [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
AbstractHypertension is a leading risk factor for disease burden worldwide. The kidneys, which have a high specific metabolic rate, play an essential role in the long-term regulation of arterial blood pressure. In this review, we discuss the emerging role of renal metabolism in the development of hypertension.

Genome-wide association study of blood pressure extremes identifies variant near UMOD associated with hypertension [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Hypertension is a heritable and major contributor to the global burden of disease. The sum of rare and common genetic variants robustly identified so far explain only 1%–2% of the population variation in BP and hypertension.

Blood pressure and indices of glomerular filtration area in hypertensive and normotensive Prague rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The involvement of the kidney in the pathogenesis of hypertension has long been recognised, although the specific renal mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are still unknown.

Patterns of vascular calcification in patients with end‐stage renal disease and calcific uremic arteriolopathy

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, 2017
Key Clinical Message Calcific uremic arteriolopathy or calciphylaxis is a rare and potentially fatal condition, which manifests as skin ischemia and necrosis, usually seen in patients with end‐stage renal disease.
