Abstract
The effect of sodium depletion on body weight, plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone concentration has been studied in 10 normotensive subjects with a previous history of pregnancy-associated hypertension. The results demonstrate an appropriate increase in PRA but a suppression of plasma aldosterone response to this form of acute sodium depletion. The significance of this dissociated renin-aldosterone response is discussed.
