A member asked:
The function of angiotensin ii in your body is what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Angiotensin II: Angiotensin ii stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce aldosterone which regulates salt and water reabsorption in the kidney. It is a vasoconstrictor and has effects to drive up BP through both these mechanisms. It potentates sympathetic neural output at the pregnant livonia level.

Since angiotensin receptor blockers lower the amount of sodium that your body absorbs is it possible to develop hyponatremia if you don't eat enough salty food (for example maybe you're fasting for one day and drinking only water and your med)?
