Interruption or blocking of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems can reverse cardiac fibrosis and hypertensive vascular remodeling, and improve hypertensive left-ventricular hypertrophy. Local ...

Renal hypoperfusion occurs as a result of reduced cardiac output, resulting in the activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, which compensates for the hypoperfusion.

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) remains a cornerstone of cardiovascular and renal physiology, orchestrating vital aspects of blood pressure regulation and fluid-electrolyte balance.

BACKGROUND: Primary aldosteronism (PA), an overt form of renin-independent aldosterone production, leads to a disproportionately high rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Mounting ...

Screening should include measuring aldosterone and renin and determining the aldosterone-to-renin ratio.

In a new clinical practice guideline, the Endocrine Society advises universal screening of those with hypertension by ...

Rats were perfused with fixative, and paraffin sections of the kidneys were processed with antisera against renin (EC 3.4.99.19), AII, and other components of the renin-angiotensin system. Renin ...

Endocrine Society experts encouraged more widespread screening for a common hormonal cause of high blood pressure known as ...
