ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -It acts in bone marrow to stimulate the production of mature red blood cells, to maintain healthy oxygen levels in our tissues. The kidneys also produce prostaglandins, hormone-like substances, made from lipid (fat). The substances are one way in which the production of renin is stimulated.

Detailed explanation-2: -The kidneys produce Erythropoetin which is a chemical that stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Kidney failure is therefore frequently associated with anaemia (lack of red blood cells). Patients with kidney failure and anaemia can be treated with Erythropoietin which will usually improve the anaemia.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rate of red blood cell production is controlled by a hormone secreted by the kidneys. The kidneys produce erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells in the red bone marrow.

Detailed explanation-4: -Renin is an enzyme that helps control your blood pressure and maintain healthy levels of sodium and potassium in your body. Made by special cells in your kidneys, renin is released into your bloodstream when your blood pressure drops too low.

Detailed explanation-5: -Renin is a hormone secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney; it interacts with a plasma protein substrate to produce a decapeptide prohormone angiotensin I.
