1. A method for intravascularly-induced renal neuromodulation, the method comprising:

  • intravascularly positioning a catheter comprising a balloon and a pair of bipolar electrodes within renal vasculature of a human patient;

    expanding the balloon within the renal vasculature; and

    delivering an electric field via the bipolar electrodes to induce renal neuromodulation,wherein inducing renal neuromodulation results in a therapeutically beneficial reduction in blood pressure of the patient.
