  • Title: Effect of acute sodium or potassium depletion on plasma renin activity in haemodialysed patients.
    Author: Drüeke T, Pasques D, Koa Man N, Grünfeld JP.
    Journal: Biomedicine; 1976 Sep 30; 25(7):258-63. PubMed ID: 990387.
    Abstract:
    A closed loop closed batch dialysate delivery system was used to determine whether Na or K has an action on the renin-angiotensin system apart from volume changes. Twenty-eight patients on chronic haemodialysis were studied, 12 (group I) were normotensive and 16 (group II) had poorly controlled hypertension. Acute Na depletion or repletion (delta NA), AND K loss (delta K) were induced with or without net water loss. Net electrolyte and water movement across the dialysis membrane could be precisely quantitated.
