Abstract:
Abstract. A case report is published concerning arterial hypertension, unilateral contracted kidney, subclavian steal syndrome, constriction of the right common carotid artery and hemolytic crisis. The renin concentration in the peripheral blood was found to be markedly increased. Following unilateral nephrectomy the renin concentration decreased to normal levels in the blood, but the hypertension remained. It is concluded that the elevated renin concentration was not the cause of the hypertension.
