Should not yet change hypertension management; hypothesis-generating for etiology-specific renin-angiotensin effects on hyperinsulinemia.
Observational (n=92)
p-value: p=<0.001
Systemic renin-angiotensin system activity is independently associated with hyperinsulinemia in patients with essential hypertension, but not in those with renovascular hypertension.
Matayoshi et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Essential and Renovascular Hypertension (n=92). Systemic renin-angiotensin system activity (Plasma renin activity) was evaluated on Relationship between circulating PRA and indices of hyperinsulinemia (IRI120 and sigmaIRI) (p=<0.001). Systemic renin-angiotensin system activity was independently associated with indices of hyperinsulinemia in patients with essential hypertension (p<0.001), but not renovascular hypertension.
