Question

Jodi has essential hypertension. She started a lifestyle change regimen which has included exercise, losing weight and creating a better support system for her stress. After six months, her physicians feel that she might see further improvement with an angiotensin II receptor blocker. What is the role of angiotensin II in normal renal physiology? How would decreasing the action of angiotensin II reduce blood pressure from a kidney function standpoint? Are there any other ways that an angiotensin receptor blocker could lower blood pressure?
