[Possibilities of laboratory diagnosis in the assessment of the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system].
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a substantial role in the regulation of many cardiovascular parameters and renal function, including the maintenance of blood pressure and water-salt exchange. The paper describes the most intensively used methods for determining the components of RAAS.
