Summary
The intrarenal pressure has been determined in man using a needle of the lumbal puncture type connected with a mercury manometer. Preliminary results in 8 patients with various renal diseases indicate no significant difference between cases of glomerulonephritis, acute anuria, chronic pyelonephritis and normal or almost normal kidneys. Our values are comprised between 23.5 and 41.5 mm of mercury, with an average of 34 mm. A possible correlation with the mean blood pressure is suggested by our data: intrarenal pressure =0.19 mean blood pressure +9.0. In one case, renal decapsulation had no influence on the intrarenal pressure.
