(b) Kidney function

(c) Fluid volume

(d) Hormonal change

I had been asked this question during an interview for a job.

I need to ask this question from Histamine, Bradykinin and Their Antagonists in division Histamine, Bradykinin and their Antagonists, Pharmacotherapy of Gastric Ulcer, Peptic Ulcer of Drug Biotechnology

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) Fluid volume

To explain I would say: Blood pressure depends upon cardiac output, contractility, fluid volume, peripheral vascular resistance. Blood pressure is affected by the nervous system, kidney functions, hormonal changes, capillary fluid shift. A person is told to have a higher blood pressure when the systolic blood pressure is higher than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure is higher than 90 mmHg.
