One mechanism for maintaining the blood pressure is the release of a protein called renin from cells in the kidney ( to be specific, the juxtaglomerular apparatus ).

This system is activated in response to a fall in blood pressure ( hypotension ), as well as markers of problems with the salt-water balance of the body, such as decreased sodium concentration in the distal tubule of the kidney, decreased blood volume and stimulation of the kidney by the sympathetic nervous system.

This has led to decreased use of captopril in clinical setting, although it is still used in scintigraphy of the kidney.
