reduce blood pressure by blocking kidney enzyme activity
Renin inhibitors, also known as renin blockers or renin antagonists, are a class of medications that reduce blood pressure by blocking the activity of renin, an enzyme produced by the kidneys. Renin plays a crucial role in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which regulates blood pressure and fluid balance. By inhibiting renin, these drugs help to lower blood pressure and are used in the treatment of hypertension.
