| Abstract: | The investigation has been performed in 190 normal kidneys and at certain cardiovascular diseases (atherosclerosis of the abdominal aorta, hypertension, chronic ischemic cardiac disease and their combination). Principally similar morphological structures are mobilized in the process of the renal arterial bed adaptation both normal and at the cardio-vascular diseases studied. Transition from certain functional changes to the organic ones in the muscular tunic and in the elastic membranes of large arteries, in correlation of afferent and deferent glomerular arterioles of all cortical layers is stated, as well as adaptive rearrangement of the microvessels and of the juxtamedullary shunt. |
