Micro determination of plasma renin activity in normal infants and children of capillary and venous blood. 1979

M Dechaux, and J M Limal, and M Broyer, and C Sachs

Plasma renin activity (PRA) has been measured by microassay on capillary and venous blood sampled simultaneously in 21 subjects; there is no significant difference between these two groups of PRA values. PRA values in normal infants, children and adults have been measured with this microassay and the results are similar to those previously published by authors using different radioimmunological assays.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007223	Infant	A child between 1 and 23 months of age.	Infants
D008832	Microchemistry	The development and use of techniques and equipment to study or perform chemical reactions, with small quantities of materials, frequently less than a milligram or a milliliter.
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
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.	Radioimmunoassays
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. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.
