Sažetak
The regulation of blood preasure by constant salt and water content is extremely complex. The kidney play a major role role in that balance by different stimuli such as release of norepinephrine and by release of hormonal regulators (angiotensin II, aldosterone) which are involved in the tubular sodium absorption. The kidney, not only produce and secrete renin to generatecirculating angiotensin II (AII) but also generate intrarenaly AII by an intrinsic renin-angiotensin system which is involved in the paracrine regulation of the renal function as well as in the pathophysiology of hypertension. AII can bind to the different types of angiotensin receptors (AT-receptors) ...
