Why would someone need to use renin?
Renin is a protein released by cells in your kidneys when you have low sodium levels. Renin increases the amount of angiotensinogenase increasing blood pressure and renin inhibitors are used to prevent increased blood pressure that can lead to a number of problems.

What does low SGPT means?
SGPT is primarily found in the liver. Low levels of SGPT may indicate deficiency of vitamin B6. Hepatitis can cause high levels.
What is renal hormones?
The kidneys secrete a variety of hormones, including erythropoietin, and the enzyme renin. Erythropoietin is released in response to hypoxia (low levels of oxygen at tissue level) in the renal circulation. It stimulates erythropoiesis (production of red blood cells) in the bone marrow. Calcitriol, the activated form of vitamin D, promotes intestinal absorption of calcium and the renal reabsorption of phosphate. Part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, renin is an enzyme involved in the regulation of aldesterone levels.
What does low sodium and low chloride blood levels indicate?
It usually indicates kidney problems or over usage of a diuretic.
Why would lipase be low?

What enzyme is released by the juxtaglomerular cells?
renin
What does a low SGPT level on a liver function test mean?
Low levels of SGPT and SGOT may indicate deficiency of vitamin B6.
