Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) involves several steps, including: When your blood pressure falls, your kidneys release the enzyme renin into your bloodstream. Renin splits angiotensinogen, a protein your liver makes and releases, into pieces. One piece is the hormone angiotensin I.
Detailed explanation-2: -In particular, activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) leads to increased levels of angiotensin II and plasma aldosterone, and promote development of arterial vasoconstriction and remodeling, sodium retention, oxidative process, and cardiac fibrosis.
