Answer:

True

Explanation:

One of the edocrine processes the kidney is involved in is called the RAAS (Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System) which is a signaling pathway involved in blood pressure control. It involves a number of hormones:

Angiotensinogen is produced by the liver in response tovarious inflammatory proteins

Renin is a protease produced by the kidneys in response tohypotension,

Aldosterone acts to  increase reabsorption of Na+ and water and increase elimination of K+ and H+ in the distal tubules of the kidneys for ion concentration maintenance
