Renin secretion is stimulated by all except_____________?

Correct answer: D. High Na+ in proximal tubule

  • A. Cardiac failure
  • B. Low Na+ in proximal tubule
  • C. Sympathetic stimulation
  • D. High Na+ in proximal tubule

Renin release increases with reduced renal perfusion, sympathetic stimulation and low NaCl delivery to the macula densa. High Na+ delivery has the opposite effect and suppresses renin secretion.
