A Trend of Plasma Renin Activity among Hypertensive Patients in Basra
Result: The study involved 144 patients. Eighty four (58.3%) patients were male and 60(41.7%) patients were female with an age range of 18-78 years and a mean age of 43.5 +/13 SD. Twenty four (16.7%) patients were less than 30 years old, 107(74.3%) patients were between 31-60 years and 13(9%) patients were more than 61 years. Twenty two (15.3%) patients were black and 122(84.7%) were white. Nin...
متن کاملFunctional correlates of plasma renin activity in hypertensive patients.
Correlates of peripheral plasma renin activity were studied in 31 normotensive subjects and 93 untreated hypertensive patients. The latter were grouped according to apparent type of hypertension: essential (58), renovascular (21), renal parenchymal disease (11), and primary aldosteronism (3). Plasma renin activity was inversely correlated with total blood and plasma volumes in normal men, men w...
متن کاملPlasma renin activity in hypertensive diseases.
Plasma renin activity was determined in normotensive and hypertensive human subjects by a modification of the method of Boucher and co-workers. Simultaneous determination of plasma volume, serum electrolyte concentration and plasma renin activity was performed. The plasma renin activity was normal in essential hypertension and in pheochromocytoma, normal or subnormal in Cushing's syndrome with ...
متن کاملRelationship between plasma renin and cortisol in hypertensive patients.
1. Plasma cortisol at 08.00 hours was significantly higher (P less than 0.005) in patients with high-renin essential or renovascular hypertension (22.6 +/- 1.6 microgram/100 ml) than in patients with normal-renin (15.4 +/- 1.2) or low-renin (11.9 +/- 1.2) forms of hypertension. 2. Plasma cortisol at 12.00 or 16.00 hours did not differ significantly among the three groups; thus the diurnal swing...
متن کاملCircadian changes in plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone concentration in one-kidney hypertensive rats.
Circadian changes in plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) in normal and hypertensive rats were determined by measurements at 8 a.m., 4 p.m. and 12 midnight (MN). For the normals, PRA and PAC were highest at 4 p.m. Animals made hypertensive by constriction one renal artery with the other kidney intact were studied after 4, 5, 7 and 10 weeks; the clear-cut circad...
