Why the study?
Does essential hypertension alter plasma renin activity and its responsiveness to posture and frusemide compared to normotensive controls?
Does essential hypertension alter plasma renin activity and its responsiveness to posture and frusemide compared to normotensive controls?
Reduced plasma renin activity in essential hypertension is partly due to elevated blood pressure acting on the kidney and is inversely related to age and diastolic blood pressure.

Associates lower renin with hypertension, higher BP, and age; hypothesis-generating for renin profiling in management.
