Abstract

It appeared that urinary aldosterone excretion was increased in 23 of 35 patients with a syndrome of idiopathic edema. The plasma renin activity failed to differ from the norm; consequently it can be supposed that the renin-angiotensin system played no significant role in the mechanism of hyperaldosteronism development in this form of pathology. A negative sodium balance was revealed in some of the patients with an edema syndrome and hyperaldosteronism.
