Plasma renin activity in renovascular hypertension

The American Journal of Medicine, 1968
Abstract Plasma renin activity was measured in forty-eight hypertensive patients with angiographie evidence of unilateral or bilateral occlusive disease of a main stem renal artery. Increased plasma renin activity in patients with unilateral renal arterial lesions was almost always (96 per cent) predictive of a satisfactory response to subsequent and ...

Interpretation of Plasma Renin Activity

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1978
During the past decade many investigators have used plasma renin activity (PRA) to subgroup or "classify" patients with essential hypertension. The yield in clinical terms has been disappointing. Plasma renin activity has failed to consistently reflect prognosis, to accurately predict response to therapy, or even to adequately screen for renovascular ...

Suppressed Plasma Renin Activity in Hypertension

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1969
The response of plasma renin activity (PRA) to orally administered furosemide was determined in 100 unselected hypertensive patients. Twenty-six percent of the white patients and 51% of the Negro patients had suppressed PRA. Eighty-five percent of the patients with suppressed PRA after furosemide administration also had low renin levels on a low sodium

Plasma Renin Activity and Cardiovascular Disease

Clinical Science, 1974
1. A group of patients with essential hypertension was divided into three categories on the basis of the plasma renin activity. 2. There was no correlation between the plasma renin activity categorized as high, normal or low and the duration of hypertension, the incidence of left ventricular enlargement, the blood urea nitrogen, serum ...

Plasma Renin Activity in Diabetes Mellitus

Clinical Science, 1979
1. The plasma renin activity (PRA) was measured in 76 diabetic patients who were attending an outpatients clinic. Of these patients 16 had untreated hypertension and 28 had diabetic complications, which ranged from microaneurysms to renal failure and blindness. 2.

Hypothalamic control of plasma renin activity

Pflügers Archiv European Journal of Physiology, 1977
The participation of the hypothalamus in the regulation of plasma renin activity (PRA) in rats was studied by applying electric stimulation to the supramammilar region (50 Hz, 1 ms, 150 muA), general hypoxia (90% N2 + 10% O2), and hypovolemia (peritoneal dialysis with 5.5% glucose) as stimuli of renin secretion.

Effect of lithium on plasma renin activity

European Journal of Pharmacology, 1973
Abstract The effect of lithium on renin secretion and on plasma renin activity (PRA) was studied in the rat. Administration of 3 mmoles/kg of LiCl caused a significant lowering of PRA within one day of beginning treatment and continued throughout the 14 days of lithium administration.
