[Renal kallikrein: variations in relation to sodium intake and experimental renovascular hypertension (author's transl)].
When rats are submitted to diets with variable sodium, concentration, one may observe a significant increase in the excretion of urinary kallikrein and in the kallikrein activity of the renal tissue in animals in chronic sodium depletion. During experimental renovascular hypertension induced in the rat by stenosis of the renal artery, one may note a significant rise in the excretion of urinary kallikrein; no change in this excretion is observed when the stenosis is associated with nephrectomy on the opposite side. It is possible to consider interrelations between the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and the kallikrein-kinin system.
