The possible pathogenetic mechanisms underlying arterial hypertension with low activity of renin in blood plasma are discussed. The peculiarities of some of its forms marked by normal or increased blood plasma aldosterone content are considered. Criteria for distinguishing a subgroup of patients with hypertensive disease marked by low blood plasma renin activity and for the differentiation of patients with primary and secondary hyperaldosteronism are substantiated.
