    1) Renin is secreted by the kidneys in response to low plasma volume, low venous pressure, low arteriolar pressure, low GFR, and low sodium levels detected by the macula densa. 2) Renin converts angiotensinogen from the liver to angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is then converted by ACE to angiotensin II which increases blood pressure by vasoconstriction. 3) Aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal cortex in response to angiotensin II and causes retention of sodium and water by the kidneys.
