Abstract
The mechanisms of renin release after furosemide (F) and ethacrynic acid (EA) in man were examined. We evaluated whether acute volume shifts within the low pressure system after F induce renin release via neural pathways. Immersion in a water-bath or beta-blockade reduced the increase of plasma renin concentration after F but not after EA. It is concluded that acute renin release after F but not after EA in man is partially due to neurally mediated reflexes originating from volume receptors in the cardiopulmonary area.Entities:
