Key result
A simple radioimmunoassay of angiotensin I established normal plasma renin activity at 1.17±0.90 ng ml−1 h−1, with altered levels observed in various hypertensive and renal conditions.

Reference values for plasma renin activity may aid hypertension subtyping; leaves open validation against modern assays and outcomes.
Observational (n=21)
The study describes a simple and rapid radioimmunoassay for measuring plasma renin activity, demonstrating its utility in distinguishing various hypertensive and renal conditions.
Fukuchi et al. (1973) conducted an observational in Hypertension and renal diseases (n=21). Radioimmunoassay of angiotensin I was evaluated on Plasma renin activity (rate of generation of angiotensin I). A simple radioimmunoassay of angiotensin I established normal plasma renin activity at 1.17±0.90 ng ml−1 h−1, with altered levels observed in various hypertensive and renal conditions.
