Abstract
Four patients with paroxysmal hypertension related to spinal cord injury (autonomic hyperreflexia) were studied to determine if the plasma renin became elevated in relation to a sympathetic stimulus. Using bladder distention to produce the autonomic hyperreflexia, renin determinations were made during and after the hypertensive episode. None of the patients demonstrated elevation of the plasma renin after this event.
