Diagnostic value of aldosterone to renin ratio calculated by plasma renin activity or plasma renin concentration in primary aldosteronism: a meta-analysis [PDF]
Chinese Medical Journal, 2022 . Background:. Since the diagnostic value of aldosterone to renin ratio (ARR) calculated by plasma renin concentration (PRC) or plasma renin activity (PRA) is still inconclusive, we conducted a meta-analysis by systematically reviewing relevant ...

A case of atypical reninoma with mild hypertension and normal plasma renin activity but elevated plasma renin concentration [PDF]
BMC Endocrine Disorders, 2022 Background Reninoma is a rare, benign renal neoplasm. Typical clinical features include severe hypertension, secondary hyperaldosteronism, hypokalaemia and metabolic alkalosis caused by the overproduction of renin.

Plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration in dogs with acquired portosystemic collaterals [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2020 Background The renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system (RAAS) is activated in humans with portal hypertension (PH) associated with liver disease. However, involvement of RAAS in dogs with intrahepatic PH is not clear.

Renin‐Angiotensin‐Aldosterone System, Glucose Metabolism and Incident Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: MESA [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018 Background Mechanistic studies suggest that aldosterone impairs glucose metabolism. We investigated the cross‐sectional associations of aldosterone and plasma renin activity with fasting plasma glucose, insulin resistance (IR), β‐cell function, and ...
