Abstract
It has been shown that deranged sympathetic functions are common in chronic renal failure (CRF) (1,2,3,4), similarly as increased plasma renin activity (PRA) in acute renal failure (ARF) (5,6). Recently it was reported of the adrenergic disorders in oliguric and polyuric periods of ARF (7). It is well known that in healthly persons the renin-angiotensin -system is connected with the adrenergic system and with renal kinins (8). In spite of these data there are very few studies on adrenergic activity in ARF and CRF connected with investigations of PRA and kinins. The present study was undertaken to determine the activity of these systems simultaneously in CRF and ARF.
