From Yaas to Raas: Understanding the Kidney and Blood Pressure Control

Join NorthStar VETS as we delve into the fascinating world of kidney function and its crucial role in blood pressure regulation. In this insightful lecture, we will unravel the intricate mechanisms of the renal system and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Gain a deeper understanding of how these processes work together to maintain blood pressure homeostasis and learn about the implications of kidney dysfunction on hypertension. Whether you're a veterinary professional, student, or simply curious about the inner workings of the body, this lecture will provide you with valuable insights into the vital relationship between the kidneys and blood pressure control.
