Outcome
Clinical and biochemical characteristics across renin subgroups (including age, sex, blood pressure, creatinine clearance, albumin, hematocrit, potassium, and aldosterone excretion)surrogate
Patients with essential hypertension can be classified into renin subgroups that exhibit distinct clinical and biochemical profiles, including differences in adrenal sensitivity to angiotensin II.
