Plasma renin activity and renin-substrate concentration in patients with liver disease.
Peripheral venous renin activity was determined by the method of Boucher in 15 patients with cirrhosis of the liver and ascites who were on an unrestricted sodium intake. Positive sodium balance was present in all subjects. Marked elevation of mean plasma renin activity (43 ng angiotensin II/min per liter, SD ± 38) was present. The mean plasma renin activity in 16 normal ambulatory subjects on ...
متن کاملFactors influencing plasma renin and renin substrate in premature infants.
Concentrations of plasma renin (PRC) and plasma renin substrate (PRS) were measured during the first week of life in 52 infants born at less than 37 weeks' gestation (mean (SEM) gestation 30 (0.4) weeks, mean (SEM) birth weight 1.35 (0.08) kg). Both PRC (median 35, interquartiles 16.3, 94.5 ng/ml/hour) and PRS (median 2.3, interquartiles 1.3, 5.0 micrograms/ml) were raised compared with adults....
متن کاملPlatelet angiotensin II binding and plasma renin concentration, plasma renin substrate and plasma angiotensin II in human pregnancy.
1. The results are presented of a cross-sectional study of 25 non-pregnant and 125 pregnant/postnatal women in whom platelet angiotensin II binding and plasma angiotensin II, plasma renin concentration and plasma renin substrate were measured. 2. Platelet angiotensin II binding was significantly lower in the first-trimester patients as compared with the non-pregnant women (P less than 0.001). S...
متن کاملImproved assay methods for renin "concentration" and "activity" in human plasma. Methods using selective denaturation of renin substrate.
Simplified methods are described for the measurement of human plasma renin "concentration" (PRC) and "activity" (PRA) based on the denaturation of renin substrate in which separation and concentration steps are avoided and recovery of renin is complete. In the PRA method effective inhibition of angiotensinase is achieved by warming plasma at pH 4.5 with EDTA followed by dialysis to pH 7.5. Neit...
متن کاملPlasma renin substrate concentration during chronic propranolol therapy.
The review by Gordon 1 concerning a positive correlation between plasma renin substrate concentration (PRS) and blood pressure (BP) prompted us to evaluate our PRS data from a randomized double-blind study on the antihypertensive effect of enalapril (MK 421) compared to propranolol. Twenty-two patients with essential hypertension were treated in subsequent 4-week periods by placebo and 40, 80, ...
