Plasma renin activity (PRA) was studied during delivery in umbilical cord venous blood and serially in the first 48 hours of life. PRA after cesarean section without labor, 15.2 +/- 2.3 ng/ml/hr (mean and SEM), was less than after cesarean section with labor, 44.1 +/- 8.9 (P less than .02), and vaginal delivery, 34.7 +/- 4.3 (P less than .05). PRA decreased during the first 30 minutes after vaginal delivery from 34.7 +/- 4.3 ng/ml/hr to 19.3 +/- 3.5 (P less than .01); PRA subsequently increased by four hours of life to 38.6 +/- 6.7 mg/ml/hr (P less than .05) and remained elevated throughout the 48-hour study period. These data show that PRA is stimulated during labor, decreases postnatally, and is again restimulated in the early newborn period.
