Smartphone-based home screening significantly boosts chronic kidney disease (CKD) diagnosis and follow-up care, enhancing ...

Renin in plasma was quantified by measuring Ang I generation at pH 7.4 during incubation at 37°C with a saturating concentration of sheep angiotensinogen in the presence of angiotensinase, ACE, and ...

ACE inhibitors work by interfering with the body's renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). RAAS is a complex system responsible for regulating the body's blood pressure.

Discontinuing or reducing renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor treatment may have negative outcomes for patients with hyperkalemia, but it is a common practice in many clinics, according ...

New kidney research is raising concerns that long-term use of ACE inhibitors and other drugs commonly prescribed to treat high-blood pressure and heart failure could be contributing to kidney damage.

Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) were found to be equally effective to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors for first-line treatment of hypertension; however ARBS may be less likely ...

Graphical Abstract. Theoretical model linking renin and excessive fat tissue to the shedding of mACE2 (membrane bound angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) and increased levels of soluble ACE2 (sACE2).

Renin localization was restricted to granular cells of the afferent arteriole and HK diet decreased the number of renin positive cells (P < 0.01) and renin mRNA levels (P < 0.01). High potassium ...

Covid-19 Rethinking the role of blood pressure drugs in COVID-19 Once thought to boost levels of ACE2, the novel coronavirus’s doorway into human cells, these widely used medicines are now ...

These considerations have led to speculation that ACE inhibitors and ARBs might be harmful in patients with Covid-19. 4,5 Although this is only a hypothesis, the argument has aroused potential ...
