Estimation of Intraglomerular Pressure Using Invasive Renal Arterial Pressure and Flow Velocity Measurements in Humans

Significance Statement Increased intraglomerular pressure is an important contributor to the pathogenesis and progression of CKD in patients with hypertension and diabetes. This study used an adapted Windkessel model to estimate overall renal arterial resistance, arterial compliance, and intraglomerular pressure based on intrarenal pressure and flow velocity measurements in patients undergoing angiography. The mean intraglomerular pressure was...
