High plasma renin activity can be seen in normal people, but may also be caused by hypertension, hypoadrenocorticism, etc. You should consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease and then carry out appropriate treatment.
1. Physiological conditions: the plasma renin activity is higher than normal when the measurement is taken in sitting position, pregnancy, ovulation, taking contraceptive pills, taking diuretics, etc. This kind of people usually do not need special treatment.
2. Hypertension: high plasma renin activity may also be caused by primary or secondary hypertension, such patients may also have palpitations, tinnitus, headache, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms, patients should pay attention to rest, and if necessary, can be used under the guidance of a doctor, such as captopril, valsartan, etc. for treatment.
3. Hypoadrenocorticism: Hypoadrenocorticism caused by tuberculosis, autoimmunity, malignant tumors, viral infections, etc. will lead to a decrease in aldosterone secretion and further increase the activity of renin, and this group of people should be treated for the reasons that cause hypoadrenocorticism.
Patients with high renin activity should go to the hospital in time and be treated under the guidance of professional physicians.
