Increased renin concentration in plasma and amniotic fluid during storage

DJ Craven and EM Symonds

Renin concentration was determined in plasma and amniotic fluid samples immediately after collection, after storage at -18 degrees C for up to 48 h, and after storage at 5 degrees C for as long as 48 h. Renin concentration increased, both in plasma (p less than 0.05) and amniotic fluid (P less than 0.02), after the storage at 5 degrees C, but no significant alteration occurred on storage at -18 degrees C. Partial activation of inactive renin could explain the observed increase in renin concentration at 5 degrees C.
