Response of Blood Pressure and the Renin—Angiotensin—Aldosterone System to Chronic Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis in Hypertensive End-Stage Renal Failure
Abstract:1. Chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis allows good control of blood pressure in patients with hypertensive end-stage renal disease. The role of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system has therefore been studied in seven patients during the first 6 months of chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis treatment.2. Steady increases in plasma renin activity and aldosterone were observed with a good correlation between these two variables. Plasma electrolytes, renin substrate and body weight did not change signific… Show more
