Impaired response of plasma renin activity to tilting after renal transplantation

Clinical Science

Abstract

1. Changes in plasma renin activity, plasma noradrenaline, pulse rate and blood pressure after tilting were measured in normal subjects and in patients with renal transplants. 2. There was a marked difference between the renin responses in the two groups, the increases in plasma renin activity in the control subjects being much greater than those in the transplanted patients. 3. Activation of the sympathetic nervous system after tilting, as indicated by changes in pulse rate, blood pressure and plasma noradrenaline, was similar in the two groups. 4. We conclude that the ability of the transplanted kidney to increase plasma renin activity after tilting is impaired, probably as a result of sympathetic denervation of the kidney during transplantation. The results suggest a dominant role of the sympathetic nervous system in the mediation of renin release after tilting.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
