In a nineteen-year-old male in whom severe and protracted hypertension developed after a successful renal transplantation, the removal of the diseased kidneys resulted in restoration of normal blood pressure. Prenephrectomy blood samples obtained from the venous drainage of all three renal veins demonstrated no evidence for excessive renin secretion, nor was a significant difference in renin activity found between any two kidneys. It is postulated that the patient may be a clinical variant of the experimental form of renal hypertension with normoreninemia. Alternatively, the remnant kidneys may be implicated to produce a nonrenin pressor substance.

They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM.
