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 ...

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 ...

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), or renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) is a regulator of blood pressure and cardiovascular function. Dysregulated RAAS is implicated in high blood pressure, ...

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 ...

Testing for aldosterone levels may hold the key to treatment-resistant hypertension and many other cardiac conditions, but ...

UVA researchers discovered how the body knows when to stop producing renin. A hormone called angiotensin II causes calcium ...

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 ...
