With the accumulation of such distinct experimental evidence it was natural that efforts should follow to determine the possible relationship of renal ischemia to clinical hypertension as seen in man.4In general, such studies have indicated that only in relatively isolated instances can a Goldblatt mechanism be definitely incriminated. The difficulties and hazards inherent in translating experimental data to clinical medicine are magnified when the problem is...Bibliography1.
