title: [Plasma renin activity in women with hyperthyroidism].
abstract: Serum renin activity was measured in 35 women aged 18-57 (mean age = 37.3) with Graves-Basedow hyperthyreosis, before and after the thyrostatic treatment. Serum renin activity was significantly higher in yet untreated patients as compared to the healthy controls, but after treatment it did not differ from that of the controls. The results seem to confirm a causative relation between the thyroid hormones and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
