reduced by a narrowing (called renal artery stenosis)‚ the kidney produces high levels of a hormone called renin. High levels of renin trigger the production of other substances in the body that raise blood pressure‚ particularly a molecule called angiotensin II. Adrenal disease. The adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys and produce several hormones that help regulate blood pressure. Sometimes‚ one or both adrenal glands make and secrete an excess of one of these hormones. Three different types

pressure inducing changes in the volume of extra cellular fluids through the renin-angiotensin system. Renin is an enzyme released by the kidneys when the blood pressure is dangerously low. Renin helps to increase blood pressure through several ways. It promotes the release of angiotensin I‚ a mild vasoconstrictor‚ by entering the blood circulation. Angiotensin I is then enzymatic-ally processed to become angiotensin II‚ a powerful vasoconstrictor that acts mainly on the small arterioles‚ and in a
