Plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration in dogs with acquired portosystemic collaterals

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.

Comparison of immunoreactive renin and plasma renin activity in human plasma.

The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1989
Measurement of immunoreactive plasma renin concentration (PRC) using direct radioimmunoassay (RIA) was compared with the common procedure, measurement of plasma renin activity (PRA). The sensitivity of the PRC assay was 5 pg/ml. In 67 normal subjects aged 45.2 +/- 1.2 year, the mean PRC value was 17.0 +/- 0.9 pg/ml in the recumbent position and 38.0 +/-

Renal juxtaglomerular cell tumor with normal renin activity and potassium level: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background Benign and rare renal juxtaglomerular cell tumor produces renin, leading to secondary hyperaldosteronism. Typical clinical features include hypertension, elevated renin activity, hyperaldosteronism, and hypokalemia. Herein, we present a unique

Collecting Duct Renin Does Not Mediate DOCA-Salt Hypertension or Renal Injury. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Collecting duct (CD)-derived renin is involved in the hypertensive response to chronic angiotensin-II (Ang-II) administration. However, whether CD renin is involved in Ang-II independent hypertension is currently unknown.

Hypokalemic rhabdomyolysis: a rare manifestation of primary aldosteronism [PDF]

, 2015
Rhabdomyolysis is a rare presentation of hypokalemia, although muscle weakness is a well-known manifestation of hypokalemia. Primary aldosteronism is characterized by hypertension, suppressed plasma renin activity, increased aldosterone excretion and ...

Comparison of the effect of midodrine versus octreotide on hemodynamic status in cirrhotic patients with ascites

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2011
Background: In cirrhotic patients peripheral vasodilatation may decrease renal blood flow and subsequently raises plasma renin activity. Octreotide with several mechanisms causes peripheral arterial vasoconstriction.

Sex differences in soluble prorenin receptor in patients with type 2 diabetes

Biology of Sex Differences, 2021
Background The soluble prorenin receptor (sPRR), a member of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), is elevated in plasma of patients with preeclampsia, hypertension, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and type 2 diabetes.

The effect of aspirin therapy on the plasma renin activity in myocardial infarction [PDF]

Journal of Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 1995
In this study, the changes of renin system activity and the effects of aspirin therapy on the plasma renin activity ( PRA) in myocardial infarction were investigated. Fifty nine patients with myocardial infarction were selected.

Influence of antihypertensive therapy, sodium intake and the concentration of potassium in plasma on concentration of aldosterone and plasma renin activity [PDF]

Medicinski Glasnik Specijalne Bolnice za Bolesti Štitaste Žlezde i Bolesti Metabolizma "Zlatibor", 2013
Introduction: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a group of disorders which are characterized by inadequate and non-suppressible production of aldosterone. The prevalence of PA is increasing in hypertensive population.

Aldosterone status associates with insulin resistance in patients with heart failure-data from the ALOFT study [PDF]

, 2009
<b>Background</b>: Aldosterone plays a key role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. In around 50% of such patients, aldosterone 'escapes' from inhibition by drugs that interrupt the renin-angiotensin axis; such patients have a worse ...
