    Notes: Summary We examined the urinary excretion of prostaglandin (PG)E2 and PGF2α before and 15 min after stimulation with the acutely vasodilating agent furosemide in 25 normotensive controls and 81 patients with essential hypertension (EH). After furosemide administration, PGE2 excretion was lower in patients with EH (P〈0.02). Excretion rates of PGF2α and of sodium, and urinary volume in hypertensive patients were not significantly different from the values found in normotensive controls. Patients with low-renin essential hypertension (LREH) had a significantly reduced excretion of both PGE2 and PGF2α before and after administration of furosemide as compared to controls. The difference in PGF2α excretion was also significant when LREH patients were compared to those with normal-renin essential hypertension (NREH). Patients with LREH were older and excreted less potassium than patients with NREH or normotensive controls. We conclude that the reduced PG excretion immediately after furosemide administration in patients with EH reflects a diminished capacity of the hypertensive kidney to generate prostaglandins which exert an overall vasodilating effect. Since renin secretion is under the control of renal PG formation, the decreased responsiveness of plasma renin activity (PRA) observed in patients with EH and predominantly in those with LREH may be the consequence of a decreased renal cortical PG generation. Alternatively, mechanisms that reduce both PRA and PG generation have to be considered.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A 32-year old hypertensive woman with bilateral renal artery stenosis of more than 50% on both sides was studied. Renal vein renin levels were low (0.3 ng/ml/h on the right side and 0.42 on the left) before surgical correction of the left renal artery. Thereafter, blood pressure was only temporarily reduced. Four months later a repeat angiography demonstrated a widely patent left renal artery and the stenosis on the right side was unchanged. Renal vein renin was 5.12 on the left and 11.2 on the right. Subsequent operation on the right side lead to normalization of blood pressure. Thus, our patient seems to demonstrate in sequence the characteristics of the two types of experimental renovascular hypertension known as “one kidney hypertension” and “two kidney hypertension”. Our findings suggest that the pathomechanisms of these experimental models are operative in man too.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Es wird berichtet über eine 32jährige Frau mit beidseitiger Nierenarterienstenose von über 50% auf beiden Seiten. Vor der chirurgischen Korrektur der linken Nierenarterie war die Reninaktivität im Nierenvenenplasma niedrig (0,3 ng/ml/h rechts und 0,42 links). Nach der Operation war der Blutdruck nur vorübergehend normalisiert. 4 Monate später war die linke Nierenarterie bei einer wiederholten Angiographie durchgängig, während die Stenose auf der rechten Seite unverändert war. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war die Plasmareninaktivität im Nierenvenenblut links 5.12 und rechts 11.2. Die nachfolgende Operation der rechten Seite führte zu einer Normalisierung des Blutdrucks. Die Patientin zeigte nacheinander die Charakteristika renovaskulärer Hypertonie: des Typs „one kidney hypertension“ und des Typs „two kidney hypertension“. Unsere Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, daß die Pathomechanismen dieser tierexperimentellen Modelle auch beim Menschen wirksam sind.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Essential hypertension in infancy, once believed to occur rarely if ever, is now increasingly recognized as a potential precursor of essential hypertension in adulthood. The mechanisms responsible for hypertension in childhood and adolescence are only beginning to be delineated. Renal factors assumed to be operative in juvenile hypertension are involving either volume control (by renal regulation of sodium-chloride and water balance) or vasoactive substances like the kallikrein-kinin, the renin-angiotensin and the prostaglandin system and other less well defined hormones. There is a close interrelationship of all these hormones with each other as well as a close linking of these vasoactive compounds to the renal regulation of sodium-chloride and water balance, thus interfering with a major environmental factor necessary for the development of essential hypertension. At present, data are insufficient to delineate a single hormone or a single hemodynamic abnormality as the only primary factor in juvenile hypertension. Further research into the pathomechanisms responsible for the elevation of blood pressure at its very beginning will improve our understanding of hypertension and possibly benefit its management by early intervention.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Abweichend von früheren Auffassungen wird heute zunehmend die essentielle Hypertonie als eine Erkrankung auch des Kindes- und Jugendalters angesehen, aus der sich später die essentielle Hypertonie des Erwachsenen entwickelt. Die zur Entstehung der juvenilen Hypertonie führenden Pathomechanismen wurden in klinischen, epidemiologischen und tierexperimentellen Studien untersucht. Zu den renalen Mechanismen, die wahrscheinlich bei der Entstehung der juvenilen Hypertonie eine Rolle spielen, gehören Faktoren, die die renale Kontrolle der Salz-Wasser-Bilanz beeinflussen und vasoaktive Substanzen wie das renale Kallikrein-Kinin-System, das Renin-Angiotensin-System, das Prostaglandin-System und andere bislang weniger gut definierte Hormone. Diese renalen Hormone haben zahlreiche Wechselwirkungen untereinander. Neben ihren direkten Wirkungen auf die Gefäßwand können sie die Salz-Wasser-Bilanz beeinflussen bzw. werden von ihr beeinflußt, wodurch eine enge Verbindung mit Kochsalz, dem wohl entscheidendsten Umweltfaktor für die Entstehung der essentiellen Hypertonie, hergestellt ist. Fortgesetzte Bemühungen um die Aufklärung insbesondere der renalen Pathomechanismen, die am Beginn der Blutdruckerhöhung im Kindes- und Jugendalter wirksam sind, werden das Verständnis der essentiellen Hypertonie verbessern und unter Umständen durch frühzeitige Intervention sogar die Prävention dieser Erkrankung ermöglichen.
