| Popis: | In ten patients who had received an allogenic kidney graft, plasma renin activity (PRA) and creatinine clearance have been followed by consecutive measurements in the first few months after transplantation, especially during the first month. PRA attained a maximum value within the first days after transplantation, and then stabilized on a lower value. With a few exceptions PRA remained within normal range. No correlation was observed between PRA and fluctuations in creatinine clearance. None of the patients showed a clearcut rejection crisis, and when slight signs of rejection appeared, no increase in PRA was observed. In five of the ten patients PRA was measured in supine and standing position, about one month after transplantation. There was a significant PRA increase, but the increase was less pronounced than in normal subjects. |
