Renin
butts
Heart & brain functions effects blood pressure.
The enzyme produced by the kidneys that helps regulate blood pressure is called renin. Renin plays a key role in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which helps regulate blood pressure by controlling fluid balance and constriction of blood vessels.
ACE inhibitors reduce blood pressure by causing less aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone to be released, resulting in more water output and a lowering of the blood volume, which lowers the blood pressure.

renin activates angiotensin in the blood
Renin is the enzyme released by juxtaglomerular cells. It plays a key role in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which helps regulate blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.
Stimuli such as low blood pressure, low blood volume, and low sodium levels in the blood can activate the renin-angiotensin system. These triggers result in the release of renin, an enzyme that starts the cascade leading to the production of angiotensin II, a powerful vasoconstrictor.
An angiotensinogenase is another word for renin, a circulating enzyme released by the kidneys which converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin-I. It plays an important role in maintaining blood pressure.
Blood pressure increases due to the constiriction of the vessels under the effect of Angiotensin and also under the effect of aldosterone which increase the reabsorbtion of sodium and therefore water from renal tubules.
See your doctor if you are concerned about having high blood pressure. In general, hot flashes are not the result of high blood pressure. They could be the result of a hormonal imbalance.
The pain and the stress from the injury can result in a temporary increase in blood pressure. But if it's not tended to immediately and the blood loss stopped, it can result in a drop in blood pressure. This drop can sometimes be severe.
