why increase in renin when aldosterone is decreased?

i always get confused with these too...which came first the chicken or egg? i think that the decreased in aldosterone with incrase in brady causes a reflexive increase in renin b/c of the decrease in BP that is sensed once the (lowered) aldosterone and (increased) brady take effect.
what do others think?

i think decreased aldo, increased renin and bradykining. cuz according to first aid, increased renin is an adverse effect along side increased bradykinin for dry cough. though i answered increased brady and decreased renin , aldo. then after reading this post, i realized and came to sense

look its simple. Ace inhibitors decrease blood volume. Decrease the blood volume will be detected by the jg cells and cause the release of renin.
