The reduction in renal blood flow secondary to renal artery stenosis stimulates renin release from the juxtaglomerular apparatus through activation of the tubuloglomerular feedback, baroreceptor reflex, and the sympathetic nervous system. Elevated angiotensin II activities in turn cause elevation of the arterial pressure and other effects including aldosterone secretion, sodium retention, and left ventricular hypertrophy and remodeling.
