title: [The renin-angiotensin system:implications, pathology, therapeutic possibilities, perspectives].
abstract: The renin-angiotensin system is initiate by numerous pathological situations which release the renal ischemia: heart failure, arterial hypertension, renal pathology with or without diabetes mellitus. Therapeutic possibilities in renin-angiotensin system control are offered by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II type-1 receptors antagonists, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and neutral endopeptidase inhibitors and angiotensin II type 2 receptors agonists.
