reninism
Reninism refers to the overproduction or inappropriate activation of renin, an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the regulation of blood pressure and electrolyte balance. Renin is produced by the kidneys and influences the body's renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which helps to control blood pressure, fluid balance, and electrolyte levels.
The RAAS system is triggered when blood pressure falls or sodium levels increase, causing the kidneys to
In reninism, excessive or unregulated renin activity can disrupt the delicate balance of the RAAS system, leading
Diagnosis of reninism typically involves a combination of clinical assessment, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Treatment
It is essential to note that renin is not always the primary driver of RAAS disorders, and
