The authors ponder on the concept of renal endocrinology. They note that renal endocrinology covers most of the significant aspects of hormone physiology and pathology. They describe the endocrine roles of the kidney, along with information on renin-angiotensin system (RAS), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and erythropoietin (EPO). The authors emphasize the importance of renal endocrinology.
