Is the Kidney Always the Cause of Hypertension? Distinct Roles for the Kidney and Systemic Tissues in Blood Pressure Regulation by the Renin-Angiotensin System. J Clin Invest 115: 1092–1099, 2005

[摘要] In the past wise rabbis had stated: “The human body was given ten organs of which it is the task of the kidney to provide the human body with thought” (Talmud Brochot). This view of the kidney, although immensely flattering to nephrologists, is no longer universally accepted today. A remaining source of pride in nephrology, however, was the conviction that the kidney was the central, if not unique, player in the genesis of all forms of hypertension.
