Relationship between blood pressure level and activity of renin-aldosterone axis in patients with essential hypertension—a retrospective study
The increase in aldosterone levels is relatively common among EH patients in China. The increase in aldosterone levels is correlated with the elevation of diastolic blood pressure. The elevated aldosterone levels are an independent risk factor for the increase in diastolic blood pressure in EH patients.
