The beneficial effects of renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) blockade on residual renal function (RRF) in patients who have just initiated hemodialysis (HD) have been inconclusive. In this study, 935 patients with incident HD from a nationwide prospective observational cohort in Korea were ...
Angiotensin-converting enzyme Skin Epidermal stem cell Wound healing 1. Introduction The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) consists of the angiotensin II (Ang II) precursor angiotensinogen, renin, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), Ang II, and Ang II type 1 and type 2 receptors (AT1R and AT2R)...
Renin (EC 3.4.23.15) is an aspartyl protease, which catalyzes the first step in the renin angiotensin system, the end product of which is the potent vasopressor peptide hormone, angiotensin II (AngII).1 This octapeptide acts to increase peripheral vascular resistance and promote salt and fluid ...
Recent guidelines define primary aldosteronism (PA) as a group of disorders in which aldosterone production is inappropriately high and relatively autonomous from the physiological control of the renin–angiotensin system [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Such inappropriate aldosterone production causes sodium retention ...

A Triad of Thrombosis, Inflammation, and Renin–Angiotensin System in the Vicious Circle of Atherosclerosis Formation—Differences between Women and Men Thrombosis, inflammation, and the RA system are known to contribute to the etiology of atherosclerosis in many different aspects [32,33,34].

The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) is an important and highly variable BP regulator. The activity of this system can be assessed by measuring plasma renin activity (PRA). Previous studies demonstrate that PRA is a predictive biomarker of BP response to antihypertensive agents particularl...
