Unilateral renal-artery constriction was performed in salt-fed (0.5g/day) rabbits with a silver clip (diameter: 0.9 mm), contralateral kidney being left intact. At the end of 10 weeks after the unilateral renal-artery constriction a persistent rise of blood pressure to over the upper normal limit of 120mmHg was observed in 10 of 22 treated rabbits. The blood pressure remained raised for over 6 months in 8 rabbits. In spite of the persistent hypertension no rabbits died on hypertensive vascular diseases.
