Activation of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System

Question

Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system A) reabsorbs K⁺ and eliminates Na⁺ in the urine. B) causes albuminuria. C) expands blood volume. D) causes hematuria.

Accepted Answer

Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system causes the kidneys to reabsorb more sodium and water, which can expand blood volume. Albuminuria and hematuria are not typically associated with this system.
