| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the relationship between 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 (11β-HSD2) enzyme activity and blood pressure was evaluated using the new index of in vivo human 11β-HSD2 activity that was developed in our laboratory (urinary ratio of free cortisone to cortisol correlated with the urinary concentration of cortisol, which is represented as UFE/UFF-cortisol concentration). Among 70 patients with renal disease, eight patients exhibited decreased 11β-HSD2 activity as indicated by the UFE/UFF-cortisol concentration. These patients had high diastolic blood pressure, suggesting that decreases in 11β-HSD2 activity contribute to the elevated blood pressure in patients with renal disease.
