Renal failure and the neural control of the kidney
Renal failure (RF) is associated with an over activation of the sympathetic nervous system. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the hypothesis that as the kidney progresses into RF there is an inappropriate and sustained activation of renal afferent nerves which results in a dysregulation of …

Interaction Of Afferent Renal Nerve Activity And Il-1R Signaling In Hypertension
Renal denervation was recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of hypertension, but the mechanism by which it reduces blood pressure is unclear. Studies of patients who have received the treatment have shown a variety of off-target improvements in conditions associated with sympathetic …

Factors Regulating the Intrarenal Renin-Angiotensin System and Renal Damage During Aging
… not entirely known. The activation of the intrarenal RAS and onset of renal dysfunction occurs over the same time span as many of the features of the MetS, while the systemic RAS declines. This suggests that suppression of the intrarenal RAS may be partly responsible for the salutary effects of …

Role of the renal nerves in hypertension
… clinical trials showing that ablation of the renal nerves (renal denervation; RDNX) has a significant antihypertensive effect in drug resistant patients. However, failure of the most recent sham-controlled trial has raised many questions regarding this treatment. Chief among them is whether …

Modelling of Long and Short Term Blood Pressure Control Systems
… scales of the various response components. The renal vasculature response to sympathetic nerve activity is also modelled by a nonlinear grey-box model. The model represents the renal blood ow response to electrical renal nerve stimulation, under the condition of renal denervation, which can aid …
