PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore the renin-angiotensin system is activated. This causes an increase in water absorption as well as activation of aldosterone. Aldosterone causes sodium to be absorbed and potassium to be excreted into the lumen by principal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), aldosterone (ALDO), and prolactin (PRL) are hormones that may have interactive effects on kidney function.

Detailed explanation-3: -Renin is rate limiting in the production of angiotensin II (Ang II), a hormone that ultimately integrates cardiovascular and renal function in the control of blood pressure as well as salt and volume homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Renin is an enzyme made by special cells in your kidneys. It’s part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system-a chain reaction designed to regulate your blood pressure.
