Extract: Fluid volumes and cardiac and renal hemodynamics were investigated in 44 obese men, 22 with normal blood pressure and 22 with sustained essential hypertension. For the same degree of obesity hypertensive patients had a higher value in extracellular (p less than 0.05) and interstitial fluid (p less than 0.01) volumes than normotensive subjects, while plasma volume, total body water, body cellular water, cardiac output, renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate were similar. For the same level of blood pressure, the expansion of extracellular and interstitial fluid volume paralleled the degree of obesity. Thus, obese patients with hypertension have an absolute increase in extracellular and interstitial fluid volumes. The increase was related both to the degree of overweight and to the mechanisms of hypertension.(author)
