Analysis has been made of the responses to sympathectomy for hypertension and certain other aspects of 120 cases whose renal biopsies showed pyelonephritis as well as arteriolar nephrosclerosis. The sex incidence, mortality, average diastolic blood pressures, and post-operative kidney function tests differed from findings in larger hypertensive group without pathologic evidence of pyelonephritis.
