The effect of aspirin therapy on the plasma renin activity in myocardial infarction
In this study, the changes of renin system activity and the effects of aspirin therapy on the plasma renin activity ( PRA) in myocardial infarction were investigated. Fifty nine patients with myocardial infarction were selected. By suppressed in the former group which was statistically significant ( p<0.01).
متن کاملEstimation of plasma renin activity by radioimmunoassay of angiotensin I.
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone hor monal system has been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of certain hypertensive disorders, notably primary aldosteronism, malignant hypertension, renovascular hy pertension and that induced by oral con traceptives. 1 " 7 Plasma renin assay has be come an important diagnostic tool for in vestigating these disorders.

متن کاملActivity assays and immunoassays for plasma Renin and prorenin: information provided and precautions necessary for accurate measurement.
BACKGROUND Measurement of plasma renin is important for the clinical assessment of hypertensive patients. The most common methods for measuring plasma renin are the plasma renin activity (PRA) assay and the renin immunoassay. The clinical application of renin inhibitor therapy has thrown into focus the differences in information provided by activity assays and immunoassays for renin and proreni...
