Urinary excretion of kallikrein before and after operation for aldosterone-producing adenoma
Abstract:
Urinary kallikrein excretion (UKal), determined by the esterase method, was measured in 10 normotensive volunteers, 10 patients with essential hypertension and in 7 patients with primary aldosteronism before and after operative removal of the adenoma. UKal values were low in 5 of the patients with essential hypertension. Preoperative UKal values in the patients with aldosteronism did not differ significantly from those of the normal subjects, but decreased in all after operation in parallel with changes in urinary excretion of tetrahydroaldosterone and plasma aldosterone concentration. The study supports the assumption of an association between the renal kallikrein-kinin system and the mineralocorticoid state in man.
