What is the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS)?
The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) is a critical hormonal system involved in the regulation of blood pressure, fluid balance, and electrolyte levels. It is primarily driven by the interplay between the kidneys, liver, and adrenal glands. The RAAS is essential for maintaining homeostasis and is activated in response to various physiological conditions, such as low blood pressure, decreased sodium concentration, and increased potassium levels.
