A member asked:
Could you tell me what hormone is produced by the kidney in response to a drop in blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BP drop hormones: When your blood pressure drops, your kidneys secrete renin which leads to the production of angiotensin 2, which is a potent vasoconstrictor. This constriction of the arteries raises bp. Aldosterone is also secreted which causes sodium retention, raising bp, in response to renin secretion by the kidney.
