We studied plasma renin activity (PRA) in eight children before and after surgical correction of aortic coarctation. These eight children underwent a combination of low-sodium diet and diuresis before surgery, and PRA was measured shortly thereafter. Thirty-two to 51 months after successful surgical correction, PRA was measured again. The mean PRA was 21.4 +/- 1.3 ng/ml/hour (+/- SD) preoperatively and 5.5 +/- 1.5 ng/ml/hour postoperatively. These findings provide further evidence of the significance of increased renin-angiotensin activity in patients with aortic coarctation.
