1. A patient presented with mild hypertension, a raised plasma total renin concentration but a normal plasma angiotensin II concentration. The discrepancy was due to a high concentration of inactive renin in the plasma. 2. A renal carcinoma was detected and removed. The tumour contained a higher proportion of inactive renin than was found in uninvolved areas of the kidney. After unilateral nephrectomy, the plasma concentration of inactive renin fell to normal. 3. Six months later, plasma inactive renin concentration again increased and a metastasis was detected in a rib. Excision of the rib together with radiotherapy resulted in a fall in plasma inactive renin to normal. 4. The inactive renin in plasma and tumour extracts was activated to the same extent by acid treatment and by trypsin.
