Primary aldosteronism treatment response was associated with higher plasma renin activity and serum potassium levels and lower aldosterone.

Addison’s disease is a rare autoimmune disorder where the adrenal glands don’t produce enough vital hormones, causing fatigue ...

The symptoms of hyperkalemia begin with muscle weakness. As serum potassium levels rise, symptoms progress to more significant muscle twitching, weakness, nausea, and cramping. [69] Cardiac ...

Similar increases in plasma aldosterone concentrations were also observed in the active treatment groups compared with those receiving placebo. Small increases in mean serum potassium levels were ...

Oversecretion of aldosterone is a consistent finding in the syndrome of malignant hypertension. Infusion of angiotensin has been consistently shown to induce an increased secretion of aldosterone by ...

If renin-independent aldosterone excess persists, the distal nephron will reabsorb sodium into the body, and potassium will flow out, resulting in hypertension and hypokalemia as the typical PA ...

Urinary Sodium and Potassium, and Aldosterone Secretion before and after Guanethidine Treatment, and Six Months after Surgical Removal of the Tumor (the Stippled Areas Represent the Normal Ranges).

In a patient with Bartter's syndrome (increased plasma renin, juxtaglomerular-cell hyperplasia, hyperaldosteronism and hypokalemia, but no hypertension), aldosterone excretion and secretion were ...

Pathophysiological consequences of excessive aldosterone secretion are related to increased sodium and water retention, and increased excretion of potassium, which induce hypertension and severe ...
