Conversion to alternate day prednisone therapy resulted in a reduction in blood pressure in hypertensive renal transplant recipients. Plasma renin activity was also reduced and may be connected with the fall in blood pressure. There was evidence of increased aldosterone activity, possibly mediated by ACTH, but there was no evidence that the fall in blood pressure was due to changes in sodium status.
转换为隔日泼尼松疗法可使高血压肾移植受者的血压降低。血浆肾素活性也降低，且可能与血压下降有关。有证据表明醛固酮活性增加，可能由促肾上腺皮质激素介导，但没有证据表明血压下降是由于钠状态的改变。
