1. The effect of acute haemorrhage on the plasma renin concentration was studied in the dog and man. 2. Plasma‐renin concentration was regularly increased after the larger bleeds; after the smaller haemorrhages plasma‐renin concentration remained unchanged. 3. The results are discussed in relation to current hypotheses concerning the control of renin and aldosterone secretion.
