PATIENT WTH NEPHROTIC SYNDROME what are the levels of:
ANGIOTENSIN II,
RENIN
ALDOSTERONE

All 3 will increase? since, in nephrotic u'll have low plasma oncotic pressure that'll drive fuid out of the vessels causing edema..and hence kidney will percieve a decrease in BP and hence will release renin ---> AT II--->aldo. ?
