[Hyperreninemic hypoaldosteronism syndrome induced by plasma exchange].

Abstract

The study was designed to measure sequential changes in plasma renin activity, aldosterone, angiotensin-converting enzyme activity and ionograms, prior to, and after therapeutic plasma exchange. Each measurement was repeated before and after stimulation of renin activity induced by furosemide. The results showed that plasma exchange induces a syndrome of hyperreninemic hypoaldosteronism associated with a depletion in angiotensin-converting enzyme activity which might account for the dissociation between plasma renin activity and aldosterone.
