The authors examined the plasma renin activity (PRA) in 80 patients and plasma aldosterone (PA) in 27 patients with essential hypertension (EH). They confirmed the significant drop of stimulated PRA with age. The PA levels of hypertonic patients did not change with age and did not change significantly in relation to PRA. In obese hypertonic patients a satisfactory response of PRA to stimulation was lacking, while PA reacted adequately. The PA levels are thus in older age groups as well as in obese subjects much higher, as compared with relatively low PRA levels. In relation to the stage of EH the authors did not find any significant differences of PRA levels.
