Rise in plasma concentration of aldosterone during long-term angiotensin II suppression

STAESSEN, J., LIJNEN, P., FAGARD, R., VERSCHUEREN, L. J., AMERY, A.·1981·Journal of Endocrinology

Abstract

The plasma concentration of aldosterone was followed in seven hypertensive patients before and during long-term angiotensin II suppression with the orally active angiotensin-I-converting-enzyme inhibitor, captopril. The plasma concentration of aldosterone decreased initially from 74 to 21 pg/ml (P less than 0.05) after 1 month of administration of captopril. Thereafter the plasma concentration of aldosterone began to rise and after 1 year reached a level of 165 pg/ml. During long-term captopril therapy the plasma renin activity remained increased and the plasma angiotensin II concentration suppressed. The mechanism responsible for the late rise of the plasma concentration of aldosterone during long-term angiotensin II suppression with captopril remains to be elucidated. A sizeable and lasting hypotensive effect was observed in all patients.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Experimental evidence suggests that RAS blockade leads to incomplete suppression of serum aldosterone levels (aldosterone escape phenomenon), offering an opportunity to consider additional treatment options to lower residual albuminuria and ameliorate kidney fibrosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
