Renin secretion is stimulated by all except_____________?
Correct answer: A. High Na+ in proximal tubule
- A. High Na+ in proximal tubule
- B. Low Na+ in proximal tubule
- C. Sympathetic stimulation
- D. Cardiac failure
Explanation
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.
