The basal levels of active and inactive plasma renin concentration in infancy and childhood. 1984

T Fiselier, and F Derkx, and L Monnens, and P Van Munster, and P Peer, and M Schalekamp

Basal plasma renin activity, active and inactive plasma renin concentration were measured in 89 healthy recumbent children aged between 1 week and 16 years. A significant (P less than 0.001) age-related decrease for active (r = -0.60), inactive (r = -0.59) and total renin concentration (r = -0.66) was observed. After correction for the influence of age, active renin concentration correlated with plasma renin activity (r = 0.81), but not with inactive renin concentration (r = 0.18). The proportions of active and inactive renin were not related to age, and the overall percentage of inactive renin was 79%.

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.
