Clinical experience with endothelin antagonists.

abstract：BACKGROUND:All renin arises from prorenin. The proportion of renin relative to prorenin could influence overall renin-angiotensin-aldosterone activity. We sought to determine whether prorenin levels were related to extracellular volume, as reflected by the levels of plasma renin activity (PRA), and to aldosterone. MET...
