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.

∙ 13y agoRenin is released from the kidneys as a result of the blood pressure dropping, when renin is released the blood pressure rises and returns to a normal state.

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 enzyme is released by the juxtaglomerular cells?
renin
What hormones is produced by kidneys?
calcitriol, renin, erythropoietin
When blood pressure decreases the kidneys secrete?
Renin
What hormons are produced by the kidneys?
The kidneys produce hormones that help control blood pressure. One of them is called renin. It is part of the renin-angiotension-aldosterone mechanism. Other hormones are calcitriol and erythropoietin.
What is an angiotensinogenase?
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.
What difference between renin and rennin?
Rennin : It is an enzyme (protein) secreted by kidneys to regulate the blood pressure. It's a digestive enzyme in gastric juice. Renin :It is a hormone.
The enzyme produced by the kidneys when blood pressure drops stimulating a release of aldosterone?
Heart & brain functions effects blood pressure.
What triggers the release of aldosterone?
angiotensin
What is produced by the kidneys?
The kidney secretes the hormones renin, calcitriol and erythropoietin. Renin - also known as angiotensinogenase, helps to control the body's blood pressure by regulating the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body. Calcitriol - This is a form of Vitamin D which regulates calcium and phosphorous levels in the body. Erythropoietin - This is a glycoprotein hormone and has an important role in the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.
Does Renin cause a decrease in blood pressure?
No. Renin causes the blood pressure to rise. By low blood pressure the body releases Renin from the kidneys. Renin cleaves an inactive peptide, called Angiotensinogen, converting it to Angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is then converted to Angiotensin II by ACE (Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme). Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction and thus an increase in blood pressure.
When the kidneys are stimulated to produce renin?
When arterial blood pressure drops and/or when the NaCl level of the filtrate is low.
