title: State of systemic hemodynamics in a case of juxtaglomerular cell tumor.
abstract: A renin-producing juxtaglomerular cell tumor was found in a 27 year-old woman. The infusion of angiotensin II analogue produced a marked decrease in arterial pressure. Oral administration of captopril also reduced her blood pressure. Although the renal vein renin did not indicate the laterality of the tumor, unilateral partial nephrectomy cured the disease. This is the first case report to describe measurement of several hemodynamic parameters before and after surgical removal of a juxtaglomerular cell tumor.
