CASTILLO, Edwin Rolando. Natriuresis and glomerular hemodynamics in misunderstood Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2014, vol.25, n.3, pp.162-167. ISSN 1018-130X.

Natriuretic response and glomerular hemodynamics depend on various intrarenal regulation systems; however, most of them possess some degree of dependence on the renin-angiotensin system. Tissue distribution and hemodynamic effects of this system are of vital importance for understanding of the natriuretic and glomerular filtration regulation in the context of different diseases characterized by dysregulation of sodium balance or glomerular filtration rate, such as nephrotic syndrome, acute and chronic renal failure and hypertension.

Keywords : Natriuresis; glomerular filtration rate; renin-angiotensin system.
