Primary renal renin secretion responding to angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition.
A case of primary renal renin secretion of probable neoplastic origin is reported. Investigation demonstrated renin secretion to be incompletely autonomous with suboptimal suppression to posture and hypervolaemia. Easy control of the hypertension and hypokalaemia was achieved with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor. Such treatment may prove to be a preferable option to surgery.
متن کاملNew Perspectives in the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) I: Endogenous Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibition
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors represent the fifth most often prescribed drugs. ACE inhibitors decrease 5-year mortality by approximately one-fifth in cardiovascular patients. Surprisingly, there are reports dating back to 1979 suggesting the existence of endogenous ACE inhibitors, which endogenous inhibitory effects are much less characterized than that for the clinically admin...
متن کاملEffect of converting enzyme inhibition on renin synthesis and secretion in mice.
We have investigated the relative importance of renal renin stores and de novo synthesis during stimulation of renin secretion and the role of transcription and posttranscriptional factors in providing increased synthesis of renin. When enalapril was administered to previously untreated mice, plasma renin concentration increased 40-fold within 1.5 hours, and remained at a high level for the 8 d...
متن کاملAssessment by Angiotensin Converting Enzyme and Renin Inhibition
Background. The participation of the renin-angiotensin system in the control of blood pressure in normal, sodium-replete subjects is not clear. The use of a specific inhibitor of human renin should allow a better delineation of the importance of this system. Methods and Results. Blood pressure responses were measured 1 hour after randomized, double-blind administration of the renin inhibitor Ro...
متن کاملCombined renin and converting enzyme inhibition in rats.
The effects of combined renin inhibition and converting enzyme inhibition on mean arterial pressure and the plasma renin-angiotensin system were studied in conscious rats. In sodium-replete rats the infusion of the renin inhibitor CP71362 (100 micrograms/kg/min) decreased blood pressure by 13 +/- 1 mm Hg (p less than 0.0001), reduced plasma renin activity to undetectable levels, but did not low...
