RESUMEN
A method of inducing slow gradual constriction of a renal artery is described. A metal constrictor is partially filled with ameroid, a hydroscopic material. Over a period of weeks, the ameroid expands, causing increasing obstruction to the renal artery. Data revealed a progressive decrease in function as measured by p-aminohippurate, inulin, and creatinine clearance on the affected side with an increase in function in the contralateral side.
