Renin
Renin is secreted by juxtaglomerular cells and hydrolyses angiotensinogen to produce angiotensin IFactors stimulating renin secretion
- hypotension causing reduced renal perfusion
- hyponatraemia
- sympathetic nerve stimulation
- catecholamines
- erect posture
Factors reducing renin secretion
- drugs: beta-blockers, NSAIDs
