Discussion of Reports on Electrolyte and Adrenal Factors in Hypertension

Abstract

Dr. Findley reviewed his previous studies in which salt hyperexcretion in hypertension followed the pattern seen in adrenal hyperfunction and reemphasized the evidence for an unusual cellular change in the anterior pituitary gland in renal and renoprival hypertension. He reviewed work in progress in which he is attempting to reproduce Skelton's type of adrenal regeneration hypertension in dogs and puppies. Dr. Tobian reviewed the current status of his studies on electrolyte changes in the tissues in animals made hypertensive by various technics.
