Answer 1

It is by

1 RAAS pathway- in which angiotensinogen in kidney is converted into Angiotensin I by renin and then to Angiotensin II by Angiotensin converting enzyme and then It secrete Aldosterone responsible for sodium water retention and increase in BP.

2.Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) , a hormone produced by hypothalamus and released by a posterior pituitary,raises blood pressure by stimulating the kidneys to retain water with in the body this leads increasing blood volume leads to raise in blood pressure .
