Acute Alteration of Plasma Renin Activity by Large Doses of Intravenous Prednisolone [PDF]
Large doses of intravenous glucocorticoids have been used in an attempt to reverse homograft rejection. The intravenous administration of 1 g prednisolone over 1 hr resulted in a significant acute reduction of plasma renin activity in 5 normal subjects ...

Renin Activity in Heart Failure with Reduced Systolic Function—New Insights
Regardless of the cause, symptomatic heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (rEF) is characterized by pathological activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) with sodium retention and extracellular fluid expansion (edema ...

Effect of amaranth proteins on the RAS system: In vitro, in vivo and ex vivo assays [PDF]
The aim of this work was to analyse the hypotensive effect of amaranthprotein/peptides on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The mechanism of action of these peptides was studied in vivo and ex vivo.

A case of reninoma with variant angina
Reninoma is a tumor of the renal juxtaglomerular cell apparatus that causes hypertension and hypokalemia because of hypersecretion of renin. We present a case of a 29-year-old female patient with reninoma and concomitant variant angina.

Variations in Arterial Blood Pressure after Kidney Transplantation [PDF]
The course of hypertension within the first 2 months after kidney transplantation was correlated with renal function, plasma renin activity (PRA), and the daily maintenance dose of prednisone in 18 homograft recipients.

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

Rebound Rise in Renin Concentrations after Cessation of Salicylates [PDF]
Salicylates are widely used in the treatment of rheumatic disorders, and they have been shown to induce minor changes in renal function. One of the major mechanisms of action of salicylates is the suppression of prostaglandin synthetase activity, and in ...
