( 1 ) indications for renal sympathectomy , which are deemed to be warrantable by our present state of knowledge . ( 2 ) a disease syndrome is described in detail under the title of `` '' renal sympatheticotonus . `` `` ( 3 ) this is an obstructive nephropathy in which the neuromuscular dysfunction causing the faulty drainage is typically unilateral and due presumably to overactivity of the sympathetic nerve supply to the kidney . ( 4 ) the outstanding features are unilateral renal stasis , renal pain and costo-vertebral tenderness , their recurrence after temporary relief by eserine , and the absence of any demonstrable cause of organic obstruction . ( 5 ) three stages , which are readily demonstrable by pyelographic methods , are described , namely , ( a ) the stage of irritability or systole , ( b ) the stage of diastole or exhaustion , and ( c ) the stage of paralysis or hydronephrosis . ( 6 ) immediate and permanent relief of symptoms is afforded by renal sympathectomy in stages ( a ) and ( b ) . ( 7 ) in stage ( c ) the aid of plastic surgery may be necessary to overcome secondary organic obstruction . ( 8 ) the best interests of surgery in general and of renal sympathectomy in particular will be conserved by rigidly confining the operation to the type of case described .
