Abstract
To define the role of the renin-angiotensin system in post-transplantation hypertension we studied 12 hypertensive recipients of renal transplants. The patients received saralasin acetate, an angiotensin II antagonist, while on a normal sodium diet and again after seven days of sodium restriction.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
