How do kidneys regulate blood pressure and blood volume?

Changes in blood volume, BP and concentration of solutes in the blood signal the kidneys to adjust the volume and concentration of urine. i.

Angiotensin II (vasoconstrictor) increases blood pressure iv. Aldosterone signals the kidneys to retain sodium and chloride
