Plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone (PA) in hypertensive kidney allograft recipients. 1976

K Baumann, and J Nussberger, and U Schmied, and W Vetter, and K Záruba, and F Largiadèr, and U Binswanger

Basal and stimulated plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone (PA) were measured in 13 hypertensive and 16 normotensive patients with kidney allografts one to nine years after transplantation. In both groups no significant differences were observed between mean basal and stimulated PRA and PA values. Therefore, we conclude that abnormal renin secretion might not be the main factor causing hypertension in renal allograft recipients. Other mechanisms seem to be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension in these patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. 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. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.
