ACEI block synthesis of AII and Aldo
AI and renin increase because they are both before the block
BK increases (cuz ACE is involved also in the kinines system) and causes cough and angioedema, the main side-effects of ACEIs

ANSWER IS B
bc ACEI Blocks Conversion of Angiotensin 1 to angiotensin II so increase angiotensin I decreases renin via negative feedback . dec angiotensin II decreases aldosterone and increases bradykynin which causes cough

B or C I think C
What is the stimuluis for Renin? FA says , with ACE inhibitors the renin release is increased due to loss of negetive feedback inhibition.
I guess here the stimulus is Low BP.
