TO THE EDITOR: Dr. Esler (1) states that Dr. Navar did not provide evidence demonstrating
that the activation of the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is the primary …

Abstract Background/Aims: Several studies sought to identify new biomarkers for chronic
kidney disease (CKD). As the renal renin-angiotensin system is activated in CKD, urinary …

Although the circulating renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is suppressed in salt-sensitive
populations, the role of the intrarenal RAS in blood pressure (BP) control in these groups …

Objective: Previous studies have demonstrated that urinary angiotensinogen excretion, a
biomarker of the intrarenal renin–angiotensin system activity, is associated with clinic blood …

In this issue of the journal, Inscho et al.[1]. demonstrate that isolated kidney preparations
from rats made hypertensive with infusions of subpressor doses of angiotensin II (for 10 or …

We reported previously that urinary angiotensinogen (UAGT) levels provide a specific index
of the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) status in angiotensin II–dependent …

Many patients with essential hypertension respond to a high dietary sodium intake with a
rise in blood pressure. Experimental evidence suggests that the renal hemodynamic …
