Introduction Physiology of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System and Its Pathophysiologic Role in Some Forms of Hypertension Renin in the Selection of Antihypertensive Drug Therapy Renin as a ...

The argument was elegant in its simplicity. Patients with high levels of renin had a vasoconstriction type of hypertension that was driven primarily by the actions of the renin-angiotensin system on ...

Renin-independent aldosterone production is associated with rapid kidney function decline in adults with hypertension, according to new data.

Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Associate Physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Division of Endocrinology Measurement of renin and its activity is increasingly used ...

Research in the Molecular Physiology Laboratory (MPL) focuses on the neurogenic mechanisms of hypertension and associated cardiovascular diseases with particular emphasis on developing novel targets ...

Initial evidence of the existence of renin, which is an angiotensinogenase enzyme secreted by the kidney, was presented to the medical community more than 100 years ago. Nevertheless, the significance ...

A recent report describes a case of hypertension in a renal-transplant recipient in which elevations of peripheral plasma renin activity were noted 8 during the rejection crisis. Shibagaki and his ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered how certain cells have the amazing ability to transform their function to help our bodies control our blood pressure. These cells ...

Lower renin levels at baseline predicted a greater BP response to spironolactone. Use of the aldosterone antagonist spironolactone may yield clinically important reductions in blood pressure (BP) in ...
