متن کاملPlasma Renin Activity in the Renal Veins of Three Patients with Juxtaglomerular Cell Renin Tumors Treatment Case 1 Sodium depletion + beta - blockers Case 2 Sodium depletion Sodium depletion Captopril
During the past 10 years, we have found renin-secreting renal juxtaglomerular cell tumors in three hypertensive patients (two women, one man, aged 22, 69, and 21 years, respectively). The major chemical and biological findings revealed the association of severe hypertension with hypokalemia and increased plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone. The diagnosis of such tumors is difficult, an...
