Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS)

RAAS
Molecular classification
Hormone System
01

Overview

The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) is a hormone system that plays a central role in regulating blood pressure, fluid and electrolyte balance, and systemic vascular resistance. It is essential for both acute and chronic control of blood volume and arterial pressure. Dysregulation contributes significantly to hypertension, heart failure progression, chronic kidney disease, and other cardiovascular diseases. Several drug classes target different steps within RAAS: ACE inhibitors, Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and Direct renin inhibitors.
