The article discusses the results of the examination of 40 patients with symptomatic renal hypertension (in 15 of whom arterial hypertension followed a malignant course) and 19 patients with IIB-IIIA stages of hypertensive disease (6 of whom had the malignant form). Marked activation of the renin-angiotensin system along with reduced renal blood flow was found in patients with symptomatic renal hypertension. Despite the reduced renal blood flow, patients with the malignant form of hypertensive disease had diminished activity and secretion of renin as well as a considerably increased prostaglandin F2 alpha content and reduced sodium content in the plasma of renal venous and, particularly in the plasma of aortic blood.

D011453 Prostaglandins A group of compounds derived from unsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, via the cyclooxygenase pathway. They are extremely potent mediators of a diverse group of physiological processes. Prostaglandin,Prostanoid,Prostanoids
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.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
