Abstract

A prospective study of four children with nephroblastoma has demonstrated elevation of plasma inactive renin levels at the time of detection of recurrent disease. Three of the four children had been shown to have elevated inactive renin levels at their initial presentation with primary nephroblastoma. These levels returned to normal following operation and chemotherapy. The observation provides further evidence that plasma inactive renin may be a useful tumour marker for nephroblastoma.
