Does bilateral nephrectomy reduce plasma renin activity in patients with hemodialysis-resistant hypertension and renal failure?
Bilateral nephrectomy rapidly eliminates plasma renin activity and suggests the removal of a renin inhibitor in humans, analogous to animal models.

Volker Arolt (2004) conducted a case report in Hypertension and renal failure (n=4). Bilateral nephrectomy vs. Normal plasma (in vitro comparison) was evaluated on Plasma renin activity and angiotensinogen variations.
