Effect of medroxyprogesterone acetate and d-norgestrel on plasma renin activity, antidiuretic hormone, and urinary aldosterone in postmenopausal women.
The effect of intramuscular injection of 1,000 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate on plasma renin activity and antidiuretic hormone was studied in 9 postmenopausal women. There were no significant differences in the plasma renin activity and antidiuretic hormone values before and after the injection. 8 postmenopausal women received d-norgestrel (0.18 mg/day) during a 3-week period. The therapy had no effect on plasma renin activity, antidiuretic hormone, or aldosterone excretion.
