title: [Renin-angiotensin system: molecular biology].
abstract: Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) have been extensively studied in last few decades. RAS regulates blood pressure, water and electrolytes balance. The disorders in function of RAS may play a potential role in development of some complex diseases like: hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, nephropathies and renal failure, chronic obstruction pulmonary disease and many more. RAS may take part in formation and progression of these diseases. In this work we focus on molecular biology of RAS and polymorphisms of RAS genes.
