|
Plasma and urine norepinephrine, epinephrine, plasma renin activity and aldosterone were measured in 11 young men (mean age, 21 years) with a high blood pressure in the clinic who maintained a high home blood pressure and 12 men with an elevated clinic blood pressure who had a normal home blood pressure. Plasma samples were drawn following 30 min rest in the clinic, and 24-hour urine samples were collected at home. The two groups of hypertensives could not be distinguished on the basis of clinic blood pressure, plasma norepinephrine, epinephrine, renin activity or aldosterone. Patients with a high home blood pressure were characterized by a high urinary norepinephrine excretion. These results suggest that the patients whose blood pressure remained elevated at home had an increased sympathetic nerve activity at home. |
