Summary
The role of renal hydrodynamics on renal deposition of immune complexes was evaluated in acute serum sickness. Using i.v. radiolabelled antigen in rabbits under a variety of hydrodynamic alterations, these studies suggested that although intrarenal hydrodynamics influence renal deposition of immune complexes factors other than intrarenal hydrostatic pressure may be important.
