Answer 1

A. Renin levels increase with poor kidney perfusion

D. Nephrotoxic drugs are a cause of intrarenal failure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Renin is produced in the kidney for angiotensin aldosterone hormonal system and it is helpful in maintaining the blood pressure and other metabolic activities. However when the renin level is high then it means the kidney has a perfusion issue .

Nephrons are kidney cells. When a drug which is toxic to them gets into the body system then it affects the kidney and may cause kidney failure.
