Can anyone explain why AT II can lead to contraction alkalosis? (FA pg. 440)
As I know, increase in AT II will ultimately lead to fluid retention, as well as alkalosis. But why the "contraction"?
Do they mean that the "contraction" is by the fluid loss which lead to the increase in AT II, but not directly by the AT II?
