Soluble (Pro)Renin Receptor Levels Are Regulated by Plasma Renin Activity and Correlated with Edema in Mice and Humans with HFrEF

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).

Measurement of renin in both renal veins: its use in diagnosis of renovascular hypertension [PDF]

, 1967
THE RECENT development of a simple reliable method for measuring plasma renin activity, together with the availability of a safe procedure for obtaining samples of blood from both renal veins, has prompted us to assess the utility of such measurements in

Low plasma renin activity is an independent predictor of near-term incidence of hypertension in Asian populations

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2019
Background: Plasma renin activity is involved in the regulation of body salt content and blood pressure. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the association between low or high plasma renin activity and the development of hypertension.

Diagnostic efficacy of chemiluminescence immunoassay versus radioimmunoassay in screening primary aldosteronism

Di-san junyi daxue xuebao, 2019
Objective To compare the sensitivity and specificity of chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) and radioimmunoassay (RIA) in detection of aldosterone and renin, and to explore the optional detection methods and indicators for screening primary ...

Plasma Renin Activity in Pheochromocytoma

Japanese Circulation Journal, 1968
Plasma renin activity was measured in seven patients with pheochromocytoma. Increased plasma renin activity was consistently observed in five cases, in whom urinary excretion of noradrenaline was higher than that of adrenaline. In one patient, there occurred a progressive rise in plasma renin activity with a proportionate increase in urinary excretion ...

A new common functional coding variant at the DDC gene change renal enzyme activity and modify renal dopamine function. [PDF]

, 2019
The intra-renal dopamine (DA) system is highly expressed in the proximal tubule and contributes to Na+ and blood pressure homeostasis, as well as to the development of nephropathy.

A case of atypical reninoma with mild hypertension and normal plasma renin activity but elevated plasma renin concentration

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.

Differential renal effects of candesartan at high-and ultra-high doses in diabetic mice: potential role of  ACE2/AT2R/Mas [PDF]

, 2016
High doses of Ang II receptor (AT1R) blockers (ARBs) are renoprotective in diabetes. Underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We evaluated whether high/ultra-high doses of candesartan (ARB) up-regulate angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/Ang II type 2 ...

Mechanisms of hypertension during and after orthotopic liver transplantation in children [PDF]

, 1989
The aim of this study was to assess the hormonal alterations that may mediate the systemic hypertension that develops in patients during the perioperative period of orthotopic liver transplantation.

Immunoradiometric Assay of Active Renin in Human Plasma: Comparison with Plasma Renin Activity

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension. Part A: Theory and Practice, 1987
The direct measurement of active renin with monoclonal antibodies (IRMA) in plasma from hypertensive patients was compared with the traditional PRA method. Two monoclonal antibodies were used: 3E8 and 4G1. The first was coupled to magnetizable beads and was used to trap both active and inactive renin from plasma. The second antibody, 4G1, was iodinated
