Key result
Differential renal vein renin assays identified significantly greater renin activity in the involved kidney in 10 of 17 patients with unilateral renal artery stenosis.
Why the study?
Does differential renal vein renin assay have diagnostic value in determining the functional significance of unilateral renovascular disease in hypertensive patients?

May support diagnostic use of renal vein renin sampling in unilateral RAS; leaves open need for prospective validation before clinical adoption.

Does differential renal vein renin assay have diagnostic value in determining the functional significance of unilateral renovascular disease in hypertensive patients?
Differential renal vein renin assays provide diagnostic value in determining the functional significance of apparent unilateral renovascular disease.
Bertram M. Winer (1967) conducted an observational in Hypertension (n=47). Differential renal vein renin assays was evaluated on Renin activity in renal and peripheral veins. Differential renal vein renin assays identified significantly greater renin activity in the involved kidney in 10 of 17 patients with unilateral renal artery stenosis.
