The plasma levels of immunoreactive (IR)-ANF have been evaluated by radioimmunoassay in several models of experimental hypertension and in human hypertension. In all models of experimental hypertension so far studied, the plasma levels of IR-ANF are consistently increased. This is accompanied by a decrease, at certain time intervals, of the IR-ANF levels in the left atrium. In human essential hypertension, the plasma levels of IR-ANF are not increased except in the severe form (diastolic blood pressure above 110 mmHg). In renovascular hypertension, the peripheral levels of IR-ANF are not different from the normal levels but are increased above normal in aortic blood.

D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
