The Low-Renin Hypertension Phenotype: Genetics and the Role of the Mineralocorticoid Receptor

A substantial proportion of patients with hypertension have a low or suppressed renin. This phenotype of low-renin hypertension (LRH) may be the manifestation of inherited genetic syndromes, acquired somatic mutations, or environmental exposures. Activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor is a com...
