Renal and intrarenal hemodynamics were studied over a period of 6 months in the hydronephrotic dog kidney after unilateral complete ligation of the ureter. Already 7 hours after ligation renal blood flow was reduced. The intrarenal blood flow distribution changed with a massive reduction in cortical and only slight decrease in medullary perfusion. This alteration of intrarenal blood flow resulted in a change of the compartment fractions. Dopamine, applied intravenously in a dose of 4 micrograms kg-1 min-1, induced a vasodiilation of the obstructed kidney during the whole period of investigation. Especially the reduced cortical blood flow could be improved by the application of dopamine.
