renin release in HTN
renin is released by ___ cells in the kidney:

- 30%
- NSAIDs
ACE Inhibitors: AE
- ACE inactivates ___
- bradykinin produces ___ , mediated by prostaglandins
- ___ block production of prostaglandins and may decrease ACE inhibitor ___ effects due to decreased bradykinin effect
- Cough and ___ of lips and tongue due to accumulation of ___ (black population)
- hyperkalemia due to decreased production of ___ ; risk is increased with potassium supplements or ___ sparing diuretics
- bradykinin
- vasodilation
- NSAIDs, hypotensive
- angiodema, bradykinin
- aldosterone
- K
ARBs - “-sartans”
