Hepatic Mitochondrial Renin-Angiotensin Systems [PDF]
Introduction: The circulating renin-angiotensin system (RAS) was originally described as a key endocrine regulator of intravascular homeostasis; however, the existence of a local (tissue) RAS has become increasingly reported in a variety of tissues ...

Acute kidney injury: an acceptable risk of treatment with renin-angiotensin system blockade in primary care? [PDF]
Background: Use of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade has become increasingly widespread driven by evidence-based guidance. There is concern about the role of these agents in the genesis of avoidable acute kidney injury (AKI).

Impaired angiotensin II signaling in septic shock
Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest for the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system in critically ill patients. Emerging data suggest that this vital homeostatic system, which plays a crucial role in maintaining systemic and renal hemodynamics ...
