[The renin-angiotensin system:implications, pathology, therapeutic possibilities, perspectives]. / Sistemul renina-angiotensina: implicatii în patologie, posibilitati terapeutice, perspective.

The renin-angiotensin system is initiate by numerous pathological situations which release the renal ischemia: heart failure, arterial hypertension, renal pathology with or without diabetes mellitus.
