controlled in situ renal perfusion pressure  
Condition in which the difference in pressure between the arteries and veins in the kidney, the organ which functions to maintain proper water and electrolyte balance, regulate acid-base concentration, and filter the blood of metabolic wastes, is experimentally regulated, for example by injecting or pumping a fluid into the kidney at a specified pressure or by regulating the blood flow through the kidney, without removal of the organ from the body.
