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 ...

Role of protein kinase C in inhibition of renin release caused by vasoconstrictors [PDF]

, 1986
It was the aim of the present study to get insight into some of the intracellular mechanisms by which the vasoconstrictor hormones angiotensin II (ANG II), arginine vasopressin (AVP), and norepinephrine (NE) inhibit renin release from renal ...

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 ...

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.

Hydrogen sulfide inhibits plasma renin activity.

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2010
The development of renovascular hypertension depends on the release of renin from the juxtaglomerular (JG) cells, a process regulated by intracellular cAMP.

Acute activation of the calcium-sensing receptor inhibits plasma renin activity in vivo.

American Journal of Physiology. Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2010
In vitro, the renin-secreting juxtaglomerular cells express the calcium-sensing receptor, and its activation with the calcimimetic cinacalcet inhibits renin release.

Prospective validation of an automated chemiluminescence-based assay of renin and aldosterone for the work-up of arterial hypertension [PDF]

, 2016
Background:The availability of simple and accurate assays of plasma active renin (DRC) and aldosterone concentration (PAC) can improve the detection of secondary forms of arterial hypertension.

Plasma renin activity by LC-MS/MS: development of a prototypical clinical assay reveals a subpopulation of human plasma samples with substantial peptidase activity.

Clinical Chemistry, 2010
BACKGROUND For management and treatment of secondary hypertension, plasma renin activity (PRA) assay is considered an essential diagnostic tool. We developed a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based approach to PRA offering ...

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
