Na-Li-countertransport was determined in 117 patients aged 16-17. The main groups included 22 patients with essential hypertension accompanied by minor urinary syndrome; 12 patients with hypertensive form of chronic diffuse glomerulonephritis; and 21 patients with chronic pyelonephritis either with or without urinary syndrome who exhibited no severe alterations in function, shape and structure of kidneys according to instrumental findings. 23 patients with chronic diffuse glomerulonephritis and 24 patients with chronic pyelonephritis reliably diagnosed by instrumental methods as well as patients with essential hypertension without urinary syndrome were included into groups of comparison. Patients with essential hypertension from both groups had individual Na-Li-countertransport values over 300 mumol/l RBC/hr; nevertheless, mean values of countertransport as well as systolic and diastolic BP levels were higher in the main group. Individual Na-Li-countertransport rates in patients with parenchymatous renal diseases did not exceed in overwhelming majority of cases 300 mumol/l RBC/hr. Main groups and groups of comparison did not differ in mean values of countertransport.

Nine patients with renal insufficiency in the terminal stage, 6 with chronic diffuse glomerulonephritis and 3 with chronic pyelonephritis, underwent 402 sessions of programmed hemodialysis. All the patients had persistent high arterial hypertension, which did not yield to conventional medical treatment, complicating hemodialysis extremely, as the procedure produced a critical increase of arterial blood pressure (ABP). The patients were given new hypotensive drugs (minoxidyl, captopril, prazosine), which lowered ABP and permitted a reduction of hypotensive injections during hemodialysis. Three patients were subjected to bilateral nephrectomy, which also considerably facilitated hemodialysis in these patients.

Thirty seven patients with arterial hypertension of renal genesis (chronic diffuse glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, renal cystic disease and congenital abnormalities) were subjected to NMR-tomography. The comparison group comprised 12 patients with essential hypertension and 18 normal individuals constituted the control group. The examination was effected in the axial, frontal and sagittal planes using the BMT-1100 NMR-tomograph (Brucker, FRG) with the magnetic intensity of 0.235 T, the coil diameter of 60 cm, and the working frequency of 9.95 MHz. The technique made it possible to draw conclusions as to the presence or absence of the kidneys, their form, size, location and the structure of their cortex and medulla. The anatomo-tomographic picture of the kidneys in patients with chronic diffuse glomerulonephritis without renal insufficiency resembled that in cases of essential hypertension. In patients with chronic pyelonephritis the kidney contour was uneven and when renal insufficiency was present the kidneys were small and the borderline the cortex and the medulla was poorly differentiated. The technique proved especially informative in renal cystic disease and congenital abnormalities (renal aplasia and hypoplasia). The results obtained were compared with the data provided by other examination techniques.

A total of 59 patients aged 16-74 years with arterial hypertension (AH) were examined. The AH duration was from 0.5 to 28 years. In 42 patients AH was stable, 17 patients had the syndrome of malignant AH. X-ray computerized renal tomography (CRT), dynamic renal scintigraphy (DRS), ultrasonic renal scanning (URS) were used in the study, furthermore, the activities of enzymes (beta-glucuronidase, alanine aminopeptidase, arylsulfatase A), beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-MG) concentration were determined in the serum and urine. It has been found that combined use of the investigation methods largely increases diagnostic possibilities, significantly expands the data of such invasive procedures as excretory urography, aortography, renal biopsy, and in a number of cases it enables making the diagnosis without applying the invasive procedures. It is advisable to use URS and to determine the enzymatic activity and beta 2-MG concentration in the urine just at the first stage of examining the patients with AH (simultaneously with general clinical methods). When renal pathology is detected or suspected it is necessary to perform DRS. When voluminous process, "mute" kidney, cystic lesions, calculous chronic pyelonephritis are suspected CRT should be employed.

Captopril was used in 21 patients with various forms of stable and malignant hypertension. In symptomatic hypertension the drug had a good antihypertensive effect. When applied in patients with essential hypertension caused by chronic diffuse glomerulonephritis or chronic pyelonephritis captopril neither increased pathological changes in the urine, nor inhibited renal function.

In high arterial hypertension conditioned by main renal arteries stenosis of different genesis, 21.1% of patients were found to have a combination of renovascular hypertension with parenchymatous renal diseases, most often chronic pyelonephritis. The incidence of development of the malignant hypertension syndrome in combined lesions was noted to be 1.5 times higher than in isolated renovascular hypertension and makes 38.8% of patients. The described features of the clinical course, laboratory, radiological and radionuclide data as well as morphologic state of kidneys make it possible to distinguish this form of symptomatic hypertension as a special one, that is renovascular-parenchymatous hypertension.
