The article describes the rationale for inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS)
pathways as specific targets in patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 in order to prevent positive …

Aims This meta-analysis provides summary odds ratio (OR) estimates for associations
between treatment with (vs. without) renin–angiotensin system blockers and risk of severe …

Cardiovascular and renal pathologies are frequently associated with an activated renin-
angiotensin-system (RAS) and increased levels of its main effector and vasoconstrictor …

The article describes the possible pathophysiological origin of COVID-19 and the crucial
role of renin-angiotensin system (RAS), providing several “converging” evidence in support …

Background: Increased levels of monocytic angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) found in
haemodialysis (HD) patients may directly participate in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis …

Background Angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a homologue of angiotensin‐
converting enzyme (ACE) and produces angiotensin peptides (APs), such as angiotensin 1 …

Hypertension and kidney disease have been repeatedly associated with genomic variants
and alterations of lysine metabolism. Here, we combined stable isotope labeling with …

The aldosterone/renin ratio (ARR) is currently considered the most reliable approach for
case detection of primary aldosteronism (PA). ACE (Angiotensin-converting enzyme) …

Background Patients with chronic kidney disease, especially those undergoing dialysis
treatment and having secondary hyperparathyroidism, have a high risk of bone fracture. The …

Rationale: Kidney homeostasis is critically determined by the coordinated activity of the
renin-angiotensin system (RAS), including the balanced synthesis of its main effector …
