Q

PATHOPHYSIO OF RAAS

  1. Low Cardiac Output and Blood Pressure
  2. Kidneys produce Renin
  4. Angiotensin converts to A1
  5. A1 stimulates Lungs to produce Angiotensin Converting Enzyme
  6. ACE converts A1 to A2
  7. A2 increases BP and releases aldosterone
  8. Aldosterone promotes sodium reabsorption and water retention
A

Renin is converted to Angiotensin
