Abstract :  The role of the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system in the genesis of hypertension between nonhunting dogs and hunting dogs of various breeds was comparatively studied in the city of Tuzla insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Bosnia and Herzegovina);. Sixty dogs were divided into four subgroups based on different age categories. Hypertension was recorded in 21 dogs or in 35% of examined dogs. Fourteen dogs had mild insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(23.3%);, 5 dogs had moderate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(8.3%);, and 2 dogs had severe hypertension insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.3%);. The most cases of hypertension insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 9); were recorded in hunting dogs aged from 9 to 12 years. In subgroups of nonhunting and hunting dogs aged from 1 to 3 years, a high correlation was recorded between systolic and diastolic pressures insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P < 0.0001);. A certain degree of correlation was recorded between systolic pressure and renin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P = 0.037); and between heart rate and renin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P = 0.024);. In subgroups of nonhunting and hunting dogs aged from 9 to 12 years, a high correlation was recorded between systolic and diastolic pressures insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P = 0.006); and between diastolic pressure and heart rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P = 0.002);. A certain degree of correlation existed between systolic pressure and heart rate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P = 0.041);, systolic pressure and aldosterone insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P = 0.035);, and heart rate and renin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P = 0.038);. Increased values of renin were mostly recorded in dogs with hypertension. This research indicates the importance of routine blood pressure measurement during every examination, which can thus serve as a screening for undertaking further steps in processing the patient.
