Figure 1 Example of simultaneous pressure and velocity pressure tracing before, during, and after intrarenal administration of a bolus of 50 µg·kg–1 of dopamine (DOPA); immediately after administration of the bolus, a marked decrease in renal artery average peak velocity is observed, followed by an almost two-fold increase in flow velocities without changes in blood pressure nor in heart rate.
