What is Which of the following is most impoant for sodium and water retention in response to hypovolemia? and explain in detail?
The renin-angiotensin system plays a key role in body&;s response to hypovolemia. The plasma concentration of renin is the rate limiting step in the renin-angiotensin system; it is the major determinant of plasma angiotensin II concentration. Angiotensin II stimulates the aldosterone and ADH secretion; it also constricts the blood vessels and causes thirst, which helps in maintaining blood pressure.
