The acute, 60 min. blood pressure and plasma renin responses to an oral test dose of captopril given to a quietly seated patient can be used to gain information quickly on renin dependency or lack of it in a hypertensive situation. This information is verified by a baseline renin sodium profile test. (J. Cardiovasc. Pharmacol. (U.S.); 1985, 7 Suppl. 4, pp. 586-91, ISSN 0160-2446).
