title: Measurement of plasma renin concentration and angiotensin II in peripheral and renal venous plasma in the management of renovascular hypertension.
abstract: Athough in general, measurement of renal vein renin appears to give a good prediction as to the subsequent response to surgery, its main value lies in its ability to reflect changes in renal plasma flow; true changes in renin secretion rate being much more difficult to detect. Although it is a little early to say how much information can be derived from saralasin infusions, caution must be exercised in necessarily assuming that the test accurately reflects subsequent surgical response.
