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.

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 ...

Soluble (Pro)Renin Receptor Levels Are Regulated by Plasma Renin Activity and Correlated with Edema in Mice and Humans with HFrEF [PDF]
Biomedicines, 2022 Symptomatic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is characterized by edema and chronic pathological activation of the classical renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS).

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.

Diagnostic implications of renin reactivity in confirmatory tests: a comparative study of direct renin concentration and plasma renin activity in primary aldosteronism [PDF]
Endocrine ConnectionsObjective: Renin measurement is key to diagnosing primary aldosteronism (PA). However, it remains unclear whether plasma renin activity (PRA) or direct renin concentration (DRC), which are based on different principles, offers superior performance.

Quarterly injectable hormonal contraceptive does not increase the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in women without cardiovascular risk factors [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e ObstetríciaObjective: To test the hypothesis that the quarterly injectable contraceptive increases the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study that included eutrophic, irregularly active women ...
