Shock and the kidney: pathophysiology and pharmacological support

C B Brown. Intensive Care Med. 1977 Apr.

Abstract

This article reviews current knowledge as to the physiological mechanisms that control renal vascular resistence. The contribution of both extrinsic and intrinsic neuro-humoral regulation of both blood flow and glomerular filtration rate are described. The changes that occur both to the renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate in the pathophysiological situation of "pre-renal uraemia" as well as "acute tubular necrosis" are described. Within this setting pharmacological manoeuvres that may improve both renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate are discussed. In addition, the indications for and general principles of haemo-and peritoneal dialysis are described.
