Figure 3

Predicted pressure-natriuresis and pressure-diuresis relationships. Urine output (Q u  = Q c (x = D)) and sodium excretion (Q c (x = D)· C c (x = D)) are plotted as functions of arterial pressure, for the Dahl salt-sensitive group on high-salt diet (circles) and low-salt diet (triangles) and for the Dahl salt-resistant group as filled symbols (squares and diamonds). Data for urine output and sodium excrection are obtained from Figure 3 of Roman [12] and Figure 5 of Roman and Kaldunski [13]. The data for the Dahl R group plotted as diamonds are obtained from Roman and Kaldunski [13]; all other data are obtained from Roman [12]. Model predictions for all cases use parameter values defined in Table 1.
