The kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining blood pressure homeostasis through various physiological mechanisms. This article explores the intricate relationship between renal function and blood pressure regulation, highlighting the roles of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), sodium balance, and fluid volume regulation. Understanding these mechanisms is vital for comprehending hypertension and developing effective therapeutic strategies.
