We studied functional state of adenohypophyseal-adrenal system in hypertensive patients. 127 patients with hypertension of I and II stages according to WHO classification (59 men and 68 women) aged 17-60 years (mean age 48,7 years) were investigated. Patients with Stage I hypertension (Group I) had systolic and diastolic BP of 22.61.1 and 13.00.6 kPa, respectively (mean duration of disease: 4 years). Arterial hypertension in stage II patients (group 2) was stable, 25.41.3 and 14.71.1 kPa (mean duration of illness - 11 years). The control group included 32 healthy individuals.
