“If blood flow to the kidneys is reduced through blood loss, the kidneys secrete the hormone renin. Renin stimulates the production of angiotensin, which stimulates the secretion of the hormone aldosterone from the __________. Aldosterone causes the reabsorption of sodium and water by nephrons in the kidneys. This water retention increases the body’s fluid volume, which increases blood pressure.” Ref: Fraser, D. (2012).
