Too much renin in left kidney. what could be the cause? and how can it be treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Renin...: ...Is produced in the kidney in response to low blood pressure in that kidney; most common cause of one-sided renin overproduction is stenosis, or narrowing, of one of the arteries that feed the kidneys.
