OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between endothelin-1 (ET-1), human atrial natriuretic peptide (hANP), plasma-renin activity (PRA) and 24-h urinary excretion of aldosterone (U-Ald) in pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). DESIGN AND METHODS: Plasma hANP (pg/ml), ET-1 (pg/ml), PRA (ng/ml per h) and U-Ald (microg/24 h) were measured and 24 h ambulatory mean arterial pressure (MAP) was monitored in 178 normotensive subjects (NT) and 79 gravidas with PIH at the 8th, 18th, 23rd, 28th, 32nd and 36th weeks. RESULTS: The PIH group had higher MAP than the NT group from the 23rd week (91.64 +/- 8.76 versus 83.48 +/- 4.36 mmHg, P< 0.01) until the end of the pregnancy. ET-1 levels (pg/ml) in both groups were identical at the beginning of pregnancy and different in the 23rd week [(NT versus PIH) (35.11 +/- 17.42 and 40.2 +/- 19.51, respectively, P < 0.05)] and the 36th week (37.36 +/- 18.07 and 42.7 +/- 16.43, P< 0.05). hANP levels (pg/ml) in the NT group decreased insignificantly from the 8th till the 32nd week, then increased to 101.94 +/- 17.4 in the 36th (P< 0.001 versus any other week). In the PIH group, hANP increased from 104.8 +/- 26.8 pg/ml at the 8th week to 161.3 +/- 28.6 pg/ml at the 36th week (P< 0.0001). hANP correlated with MAP in the NT group (r = 0.252, P< 0.0005) but not the PIH group. U-Ald in the NT group increased from 23.52 +/- 6.83 microg/24 h at the 8th week to 54.07 +/- 19.62 microg/24 h at the 36th week (P < 0.0001) and in the PIH group it increased from 27.90 +/- 11.6 to 53.66 +/- 20.4 microg/24 h (P< 0.0001). In the PIH group, PRA was lower compared with the NT group from the 8th (2.99 +/- 1.26 versus 4.10 +/- 1.82 ng/ml per h, P< 0.05) until the 36th week (3.34 +/- 2.16 versus 4.46 +/- 2.13 ng/ml per h). In the forced multiple regression analysis model with hANP as a dependent variable, a value of P< 0.003 was found with PRA, U-Ald and MAP, which indicates an interaction between the two vasoactive and homeostatic systems: the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and hANP. CONCLUSIONS: In PIH, elevated hANP might be important as a counterbalance to the presence of the active vasopressors and sodium retention. By inhibiting renin release, enhancing the transcapillary fluid migration and with its action as vasodilator, it acts as a corrective factor of the imbalance between the contracted circulating fluid volume and the vasoconstricted vascular bed. |
