SummaryRadioisotope renograms were obtained in the upright and prone position in 9 normal subjects, in 5 patients with untreated essential hypertension and in 21 hypertensives under treatment, showing moderate postural hypotension.No significant renographic change were seen in the two positions in normal subjects and untreated hypertensives. Treated hypertensives with postural hypotension showed significant impairment of renal function in the upright position in 15 cases and no change in 6. Renal creatinine clearance was lower in the group that showed renographic changes. Renography in the upright position is suggested as a convenient test for early diagnosis and follow-up of the adverse effects of antihypertensive treatment.
