Blood pressure, circulating renin and the body sodium/volume state in patients with mild renal failure. 1976

C Beretta-Piccoli, and P Weidmann, and R de Chatel, and F C Reubi

Hypertensive patients with various renal lesions and a mean plasma creatinine of 2mg/100ml showed increases (p is less than 0.05) in mean exchangeable sodium and plasma renin activity, while blood volume was not altered significantly. Patients with mild renal failure and normal blood pressure demonstrated no consistent abnormalities in these parameters. Blood pressure correlated significantly with exchangeable sodium and with the 'sodium-renin' and 'blood volume-renin' products; but not with circulating renin or volume individually. This suggests that subtle abnormalities in the physiological sodium/volume-renin feedback mechanism may occur already in the earliest stages of renal disease and may contribute to the hypertension in such patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

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.
