Earlier studies of renal transplantation and of sodium metabolism indicated that the cause of high blood pressure in the Milan strain of genetically hypertensive rats (MHS) was altered renal function. To pinpoint the active factors, micropuncture was used to study several indices of renal function in normal (NR) and MHS rats at 3 different ages: A) 26 to 30 days, before development of hypertension (pre-MHS); B) 35 to 40 days; and C) 75 to 90 days, after the development of hypertension. In group A, the pre-MHS rats had significantly lower values for single nephron filtration rate [SNFR] and late proximal tubular fluid delivery to the distal nephron than did the NR. In group C, the values in the MHS rats were significantly higher than those of the NR. In group C only, the MHS rats had significantly fewer glomeruli than did the NR rats. In group A, the GFR [glomerular filtration rate] of the MHS rats was lower than that of the NR rats. In group C, there was no longer any significant difference. At equal MAP [mean blood pressure], SNFR was equal in all the groups, except group A, where SNFR was significantly lower in MHS. GP [glomerular capillary pressure] was significantly higher in MHS rats than in NR rats (group A, +5.2 mm Hg; group C, +6.7 mm Hg). In the pre-MHS rats, anesthesia significantly increased (P < 0.001) the blood pressure difference between the 2 strains. This effect was not seen in the adult MHS rats. This may increase the differences in GP between pre-MHS and NR. Afferent effective filtration pressure (EFPA) values were also higher in MHS rats (+2.9 mm Hg in group A, +6.8 mm Hg in group C), but once again the effects of anesthesia probably account for the differences in magnitude seen between pre-MHS and NR. Only 22% of the absolute differences in systemic arterial pressure in the adult MHS and NR rats was transmitted to the glomerular capillary, while 33% of the difference was transmitted in the younger rats. These values suggest a reduced glomerular hydraulic conductivity. The primary cause of development of hypertension in the MHS rats may be a decrease in SNFR.
