| Abstract: | Two subgroups of patients were selected out of those dialysed for chronic renal failure. Group A included patients without arterial hypertension before dialysis, and group B patients with arterial hypertension before dialysis. Blood endogenous digoxin-like substance (DLS) has been assayed. Its blood levels were not increased in hypertensive patients either before or after dialysis. No correlation was found between DLS and mean arterial pressure in the whole group of patients with chronic renal failure. The obtained results do not suggest that arterial blood pressure in patients with chronic renal failure is related to the presence of DLS in the blood. |
