Abstract
Investigation of the renin-angiotensin system has focused primarily on control of blood pressure and hypertension on the one hand, and sodium homeostasis via angiotensin’s control of aldosterone release on the other. A number of lines of evidence have accumulated over the last decade which point to a central role for angiotensin in the normal control of the renal cir-culation19,49,90,96 and in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases that involve the kidney. Indeed, a compelling argument can be made for assigning a primal function of renin and angiotensin II to control of renal circulation early during phylogeny, with the other influences of angiotensin on blood pressure and on the adrenal gland arising later.
