title: Plasma renin levels in patients with thoracic neuroblastoma.
abstract: Plasma renin levels are elevated in neuroblastoma as in nephroblastoma patients. Unlike nephroblastoma, the active component appears to predominate. Patients with thoracic neuroblastoma produce high levels of renin by the tumour, which thus excludes an ischaemic aetiology as the source.
