title: Plasma volume in men with low-, normal- and high-renin essential hypertension.
abstract: Plasma volume [PV] and plasma renin activity [PRA] were measured in 51 men with untreated borderline and mild essential hypertension [I and II degree according to W.H.O. classification]. PV in low- and normal-renin hypertension was not significantly different from normal values. Groups of patients with low- and high-renin hypertension differed significatly from each other not only br PRA after stimulation, but also by PRA at rest, PV and age.
