Stimulated renin may predict surgical BP response in renovascular hypertension; leaves open whether it should guide selection pending prospective validation.
Does stimulated renin secretion predict surgical outcome in patients with renovascular hypertension?
Stimulated renin secretion, but not resting secretion, appears to predict the blood pressure response to surgery in patients with renovascular hypertension.
Aurell et al. (1973) studied this question.
