Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System Functions in Renovascular Hypertension
The renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a key function in renovascular hypertension induced by renal artery stenosis (RAS). RAS causes a decrease in renal perfusion in the stenosed kidney which in turn stimulates renin the rate limiting enzyme in RAAS. This stimulation triggers a serie...
