Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) & Renal Artery Stenosis
This module begins by exploring how the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) maintains homeostasis by preventing a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) during periods of low blood pressure. It then examines the role of angiotensin II as the key effector in preserving GFR throughout the body. Finally, the module addresses renal artery stenosis, a condition in […]

Low Volume High Potassium Aldosterone Switch
The module begins with an overview of the relevant renal physiology, focusing on the mechanisms of sodium and potassium handling. It then examines how low extracellular fluid volume and high potassium levels influence reabsorption processes at the distal nephron. Finally, these physiological mechanisms are clinically correlated with Gordon syndrome and Gitelman syndrome, highlighting their pathophysiology […]
