    Abstract:
    A patient with atrophic unilateral hydronephrosis due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction associated with hypertension was successfully treated by nephrectomy. Preoperatively, plasma renin activity was elevated in both the peripheral vein and affected renal vein. Renin concentration in the resected kidney was high, and immunohistochemical localization of renin was observed along the afferent arterioles of the juxtaglomerular apparatus and in arterioles at some distance from the glomeruli.
