Houssay and Fasciolo transplanted an ischaemic kidney into an animal from which both kidneys had been removed. Hypertensio resultaed after establishment of circulation, supporting the view that hypertension is due to a chemical substance with pressor action produced in the ischaemic kidney. They later showed that the ischaemic kidneys of hypertensive dogs contained an excess of rening.
