Blood Pressure Control
The liver helps synthesize angiotensinogen, a form of peptide hormone that would control blood pressure. When your kidney senses the occurrence of low blood pressure, it will activate angiotensinogen to raise blood pressure. This is important to prevent some possible health issues such as shortness of breath, fainting, as well as dizziness. Also, angiotensinogen can encourage the body to release aldosterone, which improves the retention of sodium in the kidneys. Without a sufficient amount of this protein, people might be at a higher risk of heart disease and kidney failure. [11]
