Suppressed renin response to furosemide is common yet uncorrelated with natriuresis and varies by race; hypothesis-generating for renin-guided diuretic selection in hypertension.
A significant proportion of hypertensive patients exhibit suppressed plasma renin activity, which does not correlate with the degree of diuresis or natriuresis following furosemide administration.
B. J. Channick (1969) studied this question.
