Renin and control of arterial blood pressure during terminal renal failure treated by haemodialysis and by transplantation.

چکیده
1. Plasma renin concentrations were determined in 1068 samples obtained in 113 patients in the end stage of chronic renal failure treated by repeated haemodialyses or by renal transplantation. 2. Patients with malignant nephroangiosclerosis have a very high concentration of plasma renin; this differentiates them from other disease groups, where renin concentration is sometimes normal and sometimes elevated; there is no significant difference between the glomerulonephritis and pyelonephritis groups. 3. There is a weak but significant correlation between plasma renin concentration and arterial blood pressure. In the terminal stage of chronic renal insufEciency, blood pressure appears to be controlled by other quantitatively more important factors. However, the hypertension of some cases, characterized by high concentrations of plasma renin, can be controlled only by bilateral nephrectomy. 4. There is an inverse and highly significant correlation between plasma renin and sodium concentrations. This is also the case in transplanted patients where an inverse correlation also exists between plasma renin concentration and daily urinary output of sodium. 5. The juxtaglomerular granulation index correlates positively with the plasma renin concentration. 6. In terminal renal failure the kidney retains its capacity to secrete renin as a response to acute haemorrhage or other stimuli. 7. Renin is present in the blood of anephric patients and its concentration is not correlated either with the patient’s sex or with the time elapsed after binephrectomy. 8. During rejection episodes in transplanted patients a rise of plasma renin concentration is frequently but not invariably observed. Elevation of plasma renin concentration is evident in very acute rejection crises.

Background: Renal transplantation is the preferred therapeutic method for patients with end-stage renal disease. Patients with renal failure have significant associated medical conditions, such as cardiovascular disease. The suitable anesthesia for renal transplantation requires minimal toxicity for the transplanted organ, as well as sufficient pain relief and maintenance of optimal blood press...
متن کاملImmunosuppressive Drugs and Kidney Post-transplant Diabetes Mellitus
Background: As the rate of renal transplantation increases, more immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporine A (CsA) are consumed, particularly during the early months following transplantation, leading to post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) which can cause death. Objective: The present study examined the role of CsA in causing PTDM and other effect...
متن کاملThe effect of progressive aerobic continuous training on angiotensin-1, angiotensin-2 and angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 in patients with heart failure
Background: Chronic hypertension causes structural and functional changes in the heart, ultimately leading to heart failure (HF), which further increases mortality and morbidit. HF is a complex clinical syndrome caused by various structural or functional abnormalities of the heart that impair the filling capacity of the ventricles. The findings of various trials have shown the association betwe...
متن کاملRenin secretion in the chronically perfused pulseless calf. Evidence for failure of stimulation by decreased pulse pressure.
To study the influence of arterial pulse pressure on renin release, a chronic pulseless calf preparation was developed using a centrifugal left ventricular bypass blood pump. After pump implantation and recovery, control measurements of renal vein and arterial plasma renin activity, arterial pressure, and renal artery flow were obtained. The centrifugal bypass pump rate then was increased to ca...
متن کاملThe effect of AT2 and Mas receptors antagonists on renal hemodynamic and excretory disorders induced by ischemia/reperfusion in male and female rats
Introduction: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (RIR) may disturb renin-angiotensin system components. In this study, the effects of Mas receptor (A779) and AT2 receptor (PD123319) antagonists were examined in RIR rats. Methods: Total 60 male and female Wistar rats were assigned into 10 groups (n=6 in each group), including sham-operated group, RIR groups treated with the vehicle, A779, PD123319, ...
