title: [Renin subgroups in borderline hypertension].
abstract: The study was carried out in 42 healthy men--control group and in 21 patients with borderline essential hypertension. It was found that the patients differ in hemodynamics from the control group. The group patients as a whole show significantly higher blood pressure, lower plasma volume and shorter total transit time compared with normotensive men. Division the patients on the renin subgroups revealed significant difference. High renin patients had hyperkinetic circulation. Patients with normal renin had significantly elevated total peripheral resistance. These results suggest that renin-angiotensin system no played an essential role in pathogenesis of borderline hypertension.
