For ARR calculation, the minimum value of DRC was set at 2.0 mIU/L. Normal values on a 100–200 mmol Na+/day: DRC > 2.8 mIU/L, PAC < 12 ng/dL, ARR < 20.6 (ng/mIU). Data are presented as mean ± SD or median and interquartile range, as appropriate.
Abbreviations: ARR, aldosterone/renin ratio; BP, blood pressure; BMI, body mass Index; BSA, body surface area; DRC, direct active renin concentration; PAC, plasma aldosterone concentration.
