The correlation between plasma renin activity level and clinical, laboratory, spirometric parameters in patients with a combination of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and arterial hypertension

Abstract

The aim was to study the correlation between plasma renin activity level and clinical-laboratory, spirographic symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and arterial hypertension (AH) in patients with arterial hypertension. The work included 86 patients with combined pathology (COPD + AG) and 69 patients with arterial hypertension. All patients underwent plasma level of plasma renin activity (ARP), clinico-laboratory diagnostics, and external respiration function tests. The study revealed the role of plasma renin activity in the development of clinical, laboratory and spirographic symptoms in patients with a combination of COPD and AH.
