What is renin?
Renin is a protein (enzyme) released into the bloodstream by special kidney cells. It is released in response to decreasing salt (sodium) levels or low blood volume. Renin plays a role in the release of aldosterone, a hormone that helps control the body's salt and water balance.
A test can be done to measure the amount of renin in your blood.
Alternative Names:
Plasma renin activity; Random plasma renin; PRA
