The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is a highly regulated hormonal cascade that plays a central role in the control of blood pressure and the maintenance of renal homeostasis. Its components, including ...

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) remains a cornerstone of cardiovascular and renal physiology, orchestrating vital aspects of blood pressure regulation and fluid-electrolyte balance. At the heart of ...

Renin–angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors — including angiotensin-converting–enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) — slow the progression of mild or moderate chronic kidney ...

ACE inhibitors work by interfering with the body's renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). RAAS is a complex system responsible for regulating the body's blood pressure. The kidneys release an ...

In patients with mild or moderate chronic kidney disease, renin–angiotensin system inhibitors have improved outcomes, but less evidence supports their use in advanced CKD. New research findings are ...
