Research Interests
The Role of Kidney to Hypertension and Salt Sensitivity
Hypertension and salt sensitivity of blood pressure are two conditions the etiologies of which are still elusive because of the complex influences of genes, environment, and behavior. The kidney plays a major role in the long-term regulation of blood pressure, and abnormal sodium chloride metabolism is frequently encountered in hypertension. Dopamine is an important regulator of systemic blood pressure that acts via multiple mechanisms especially through the G-protein coupled receptors. It affects fluid and electrolyte balance by its actions on renal hemodynamics and epithelial transport and by regulation of hormones and humoral agents. Interested mainly on the role of the kidney (particularly the dopamine receptors) to regulate blood pressure and salt sensitivity.
