    Notes: Summary To analyse the role of the renin angiotensin system in the pathogenesis of hypertension in Cushing's syndrome ten patients with hypercorticism (five with pituitary hypothalamic dysfunction, three with adrenal adenomas and two with adrenal carcinomas) received a single oral dose of 25 mg captopril. Mean arterial pressure was then determined at short intervals over periods of up to 240 min. Plasma renin activity (PRA) was measured immediately before the administration of captopril. Eleven patients with severe essential hypertension, who showed a comparable distribution of basal PRA values, served as a control. Patients with elevated basal PRA values (〉3 ng/ml·3 h) showed, both in the subgroup of cases with essential hypertension and in that with Cushing's syndrome, a statistically significant fall (P〈0.05−P〈0.001) in mean arterial pressure, the decrease being slightly more pronounced in essential hypertensives. On the other hand patients with normal PRA values (≦3 ng/ml·3 h) exhibited only a minor fall in mean arterial pressure reaching statistical significance (P〈0.05) only after 60 min (essential hypertension) and 180 min (Cushing's syndrome), respectively. Our results document that in patients with Cushing's syndrome the effect of captopril seems to be determined by the activity of the renin angiotensin system. Thus, in a substantial number of patients with hypercorticism, the renin angiotensin system may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of hypertension, whereas in patients with low PRA values other factors like oversecretion of mineralocorticoids may be responsible for the observed blood pressure increases.

    Notes: Summary To study long-term effects of captopril on renal function in patients with various forms of severe hypertension, serum creatinine values were monitored in 76 patients under captopril therapy over a period of up to 3 years. Three different groups were formed: (1) patients with essential hypertension (n=37); (2) patients with renovascular hypertension (n=20); (3) patients with renal parenchymatous hypertension (n=19). In each of the three groups reduction in blood pressure was accompanied by increases in serum creatinine. However, both changes were more pronounced in patients with renovascular hypertension. In this group only the rise in creatinine was statistically significant and showed a slight progression with duration of captopril treatment. Group specific analysis revealed that the increase was smaller in patients with unilateral (n=16) renovascular disease than in those with bilateral (n=4) involvement, but in the former it was still significantly higher than in patients with essential or renal parenchymatous hypertension. Separation of patients according to the underlying disease of renovascular hypertension showed that renal function deteriorated less in patients with arteriosclerotic origin (n=10) than in those with fibromuscular dysplasia (n=8). Statistical evaluation of subjects with renovascular and essential hypertension still revealed significant differences in creatinine when the patients with initial plasma renin activity (PRA) below and above 6 ng/ml·3 h were compared separately. A significant correlation (r=0.73;P〈0.05) between blood pressure reduction and creatinine changes was obtained only for patients with renovascular hypertension. Finally, in all three groups of patients creatinine changes were statistically independent from daily dosages of captopril. From these data we conclude that sustained impairment of kidney function by captopril is mainly restricted to patients with renovascular hypertension and possibly results from the combined effects of low renal perfusion pressure and interference with intrarenal regulation of glomerular filtration rate by a postulated angiotensin-II-mediated mechanism.

    Notes: Summary Skin patches of a clonidine transdermal therapeutic system (clonidine-TTS) with a constant release rate of either 0.1 or 0.2 mg clonidine/24 h continuously over 7 days were used in 32 essential hypertensives. These self-adhesive drug delivery systems (3.5 cm2), which were affixed to the upper outer arm, were changed by the patients at weekly intervals. During a mean observation period of 7 months (range 1–19 months) transdermal clonidine reduced the blood pressure from 162±15/107±5 mmHg to normal values (diastolic ≦95 mmHg) in 63% of our patients. However, chronic use of clonidine-TTS was accompanied by a high frequency of contact dermatitis (type IV allergy) in nearly half of our patients (n=15, 47%). In 11 of these 15 patients transdermal clonidine administration had to be stopped because of intolerable local skin reactions (pruritus, erythema, vesiculation, and/or infiltration). Subsequent patch testing with all components of clonidine-TTS was performed in eight cases. Whereas in seven cases an allergic contact dermatitis to clonidine was found, only one patient showed an allergy to another component of clonidine-TTS (polyisobutylene). We conclude that this strikingly high incidence of local allergic skin reactions limits the use of clonidine-TTS in essential hypertension.

    Notes: Summary In the present study two patients with aldosterone-producing adrenal carcinomas are reported. The clinical features were characterized by hypertension and severe hypokalemia with muscular weakness, flaccid paralysis of arms and legs, diarrhea and polyuria. In both cases excessively high plasma aldosterone levels and suppressed plasma renin activity were found. In contrast to most other cases with aldosterone-secreting tumours plasma cortisol, urinary free cortisol excretion, 17-hydroxy- and 17-ketosteroids were in the normal range. There was no clinical evidence of oversecretion of sex hormones. After adrenalectomy blood pressure and serum potassium normalized and the clinical symptoms disappeared. Plasma aldosterone and urinary aldosterone secretion returned to normal, while plasma renin activity remained low. Three and a half and 6 months later primary aldosteronism and the associated clinical symptoms reappeared due to hormonally active metastases. After introducing the antitumour drug o,p′-DDD in patient 1 aldosterone secretion normalized and the clinical status of the patient markedly improved. However, 10 months after diagnosis the patient died due to a haemorrhage from a liver metastasis. In patient 2 tumour-invaded regional lymph nodes were surgically removed with only minor changes in the hormone pattern.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei der narkotisierten vagotomierten Ratte wurde über 2 Std die Wirkung von intraperitoneal injiziertem Guancydin auf den mittleren arteriellen Blutdruck und die Herzfrequenz beobachtet. Hier konnte ein dosisabhängiger blutdruck- und frequenzsenkender Effekt nachgewiesen werden. Nephrektomierte Tiere oder Tiere mit doppelseitiger Ureterligatur und ureteroabdomineller Fistel sowie Tiere, die mit Probenecid vorbehandelt waren, zeigten im Vergleich zu den Normaltieren eine deutlich stärkere Ansprechbarkeit auf die gleiche Guancydindosis. 2 Std nach der Guancydingabe konnte zwischen den Blutdruckwerten der vorbehandelten Kollektive und dem mittleren Druckwert des Normalkollektivs eine hochsignifikante Differenz ermittelt werden (p〈0,001). Aus diesen Befunden wird gefolgert, daß Guancydin rasch durch die Nieren ausgeschieden wird und daß auf Grund der deutlichen Potenzierung der Guancydinwirkung durch Probenecid eine aktive Ausscheidung des Antihypertensivums in der Niere wahrscheinlich ist.
    Notes: Summary In anesthetized and vagotomized rats the effect of intraperitoneally injected guancydine on the mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate was observed over a time of 2 hrs. A dose-dependent hypotensive and heart rate lowering effect could be recorded. Nephrectomized animals or animals with bilateral ureteral ligature and ureteroabdominal fistula and animals, which were pretreated with probenecid, showed a significantly increased sensitivity to guancydine compared to the normal rats. 2 hrs after application of guancydine a highly significant difference could be observed between the mean blood pressure of the pretreated and the normal animals (p〈0.001). These results suggest, that guancydine is rapidly excreted through the kidneys, and that the secretion of this antihypertensive agent is an active process.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei Ratten, die mit Furosemid oder Mefrusid vorbehandelt worden waren, wurde über einen Zeitraum von 2 Std die Wirkung von intraperitoneal injiziertem Guancydin (25 mg/kg) auf den mittleren arteriellen Blutdruck und die Herzfrequenz beobachtet. Im Vergleich zu nichtvorbehandelten Tieren konnte eine deutliche Potenzierung der blutdruck- und herzfrequenzreduzierenden Guancydinwirkung nachgewiesen werden. Der Effekt war dosisabhängig, da 2 Std nach der Guancydingabe die mit 25 mg/kg Furosemid oder 50 mg/kg Mefrusid vorbehandelten Tiere einen signifikant niedrigeren Blutdruck aufwiesen als diejenigen, die vorher 12,5 mg/kg Furosemid oder 25 mg/kg Mefrusid erhalten hatten (p〈0,01). Es konnte wahrscheinlich gemacht werden, daß die Ursache für diesen Effekt weniger in einer diuretikumbedingten Veränderung des Wasser- und Elektrolythaushalts als darin liegt, daß Furosemid, Mefrusid und Guancydin über dasselbe renale Transportsystem ausgeschieden werden. Als Ausdruck einer Konkurrenz der Substanzen um dieses Transportsystem kam es möglicherweise zu einer Verzögerung der Guancydinausscheidung und somit zu einer verstärkten Wirkung des Antihypertensivums auf den Blutdruck und die Herzfrequenz. Diese Auslegung der Ergebnisse wird außerdem dadurch bestätigt, daß in weiteren Versuchen der diuretische und natriuretische Furosemideffekt durch Vorbehandlung mit Guancydin signifikant herabgesetzt werden konnte (p〈0,01). Dieser Effekt war gleichfalls dosisabhängig.
    Notes: Summary In rats, which were treated, with furosemide and mefruside, the effect of intraperitoneally injected guancydine (25 mg/kg) on the mean arterial blood pressure and the heart rate was studied over a period of 2 hrs. In comparison with, normal animals, a significant potentiation of the depressant effect of guancydine on heart rate and blood pressure was observed. This effect was dose dependent, since the animals, which were pretreated with 25 mg/kg furosemide or 50 mg/kg mefruside, showed a significantly lower blood pressure than rats, which received 12,5 mg/kg furosemide or 25 mg/kg mefruside (p〈0.01). It is suggested, that the causes of these effects were not the saluretic-induced alterations of the water and electrolyte balance but the fact, that furosemide, mefruside and guancydine are excreted by the same renal transport system. These findings were strongly supported by the fact, that in other experiments pretreatment with guancydine significantly lowered the diuretic and natriuretic action of furosemide (p〈0.01). This effect was also dose dependent.
