Effect of methyldopa on plasma renin activity in man.
The effect of methyldopa on plasma renin activity was studied in one hypertensive and four normotensive human volunteers. Peripheral venous blood for the estimation of plasma renin activity was obtained with the subjects supine and in a 70° head-up tilted position before, during and, in two subjects, after treatment with oral methyldopa. Despite a reduction in mean arterial pressure, the plasma...

متن کاملThe effect of potassium loading on sodium excretion and plasma renin activity in Addisonian man.
Potassium has been shown to suppress plasma renin activity (PRA). This study was designed to study the role of increased aldosterone production in the mediation of such a response. Five patients with adrenal insufficiency were placed on a diet of 60 meq potassium and 100-150 meq of sodium while receiving a constant amount of cortisone acetate and Florinef. Upright PRA was determined each day fo...
متن کاملAcute effects of alpha-methyldopa on mean blood pressure and plasma renin activity.
a-Methyldopa significantly lowered mean blood pressure and plasma renin activity in dogs anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital. After unilateral ligation of the right renal vessels and contralateral denervation of the kidney, a-methyldopa significantly lowered mean blood pressure but did not change plasma renin activity. It was concluded that a-methyldopa acutely lowers plasma renin activity v...
متن کاملSuppression of plasma renin activity by indomethacin in man.
The effect of indomethacin or placebo on aldosterone, plasma renin activity (PRA), sodium excretion, and urinary prostaglandin (PG) levels was investigated in five hypertensive subjects in 100 mEq sodium balance who had experienced malignant hypertension with a disturbance of their renin-aldosterone relationship in the past. Indomethacin significantly lowered aldosterone levels by 43%, PRA by 5...
