Takeaways:

A chronic dry cough can be an indication of kidney fatigue and imbalance.

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathway and ACE enzymes play a role in regulating blood pressure and can contribute to coughing.

Chronic stress and emotions such as fear and grief can impact kidney function and lead to a persistent cough.
