The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) remains a cornerstone of cardiovascular and renal physiology, orchestrating vital aspects of blood pressure regulation and fluid-electrolyte balance. At the heart of ...
Testing for aldosterone levels may hold the key to treatment-resistant hypertension and many other cardiac conditions, but ...
The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is a highly regulated hormonal cascade that plays a central role in the control of blood pressure and the maintenance of renal homeostasis. Its components, including ...
ACE inhibitors work by interfering with the body's renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). RAAS is a complex system responsible for regulating the body's blood pressure. The kidneys release an ...
Should We Routinely Measure Renin Levels to Diagnose and Treat Patients With Hypertension? (Part II)
Introduction Physiology of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System and Its Pathophysiologic Role in Some Forms of Hypertension Renin in the Selection of Antihypertensive Drug Therapy Renin as a ...
A new study has identified a critical "pressure sensor" inside the kidney that helps the body control blood pressure and ...
Renin–angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors — including angiotensin-converting–enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) — slow the progression of mild or moderate chronic kidney ...
Given the common use of ACE inhibitors and ARBs worldwide, guidance on the use of these drugs in patients with Covid-19 is urgently needed. Here, we highlight that the data in humans are too limited ...
