Abstract

The authors analysed 31 cases of an acute hypertensive glomerulonephritis. The antihypertensive efficacy of two medicines: a vasodilator (dihidralazine) and a diuretic (Furosemide) was underlibed an these patients. Their efficacy was evident not only in the stabilization of P.A. around normal values on three days, but also on the disappearance of signs of on hypertensive encephalopathy whereas these ones were present.
