Hypoaldosteronism is an endocrinological disorder characterized by decreased levels of the hormone aldosterone. Similarly, isolated hypoaldosteronism is the condition of having lowered aldosterone without corresponding changes in cortisol. [1] (The two hormones are both produced by the adrenals.)

In addition to hyperkalemia, hypoaldosteronism is usually associated with a mild metabolic acidosis with a normal anion gap (ie, a hyperchloremic acidosis) that has been called type 4 renal tubular acidosis. The pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of hypoaldosteronism will be presented here.

2023年8月7日 · Hypoaldosteronism (HA) is a condition marked by decreased synthesis or diminished release of aldosterone (ALD) from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal glands, or resistance to its action on target tissues.

2022年3月5日 · Hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism is a common cause of hyperkalemia in diabetic patients with an age > 50, mild to moderate nephropathy and exacerbating medications (e.g. ACE inhibitor, ARB, NSAIDs) or acute illness (e.g. dehydration).

Hypoaldosteronism is a condition characterized by the insufficient production or action of aldosterone, a crucial hormone in the regulation of sodium and potassium balance within the body. This inadequacy can precipitate a range of clinical manifestations and pose significant health risks if left unmanaged.

2023年7月16日 · Explore hypoaldosteronism, a condition characterized by low levels or impaired function of aldosterone. Learn about its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for effective management and restoration of electrolyte balance.

Hypoaldosteronism, abnormally low serum levels of aldosterone, a steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal gland. Hypoaldosteronism nearly always arises as a result of disorders in which the adrenal glands are destroyed.

2024年7月16日 · Symptoms of hypoaldosteronism, too little aldosterone, include low blood pressure, appetite loss, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. Meanwhile, hyperaldosteronism (excessive aldosterone) may cause symptoms like high blood pressure and excessive sodium levels, combined with low potassium .

2022年5月2日 · Hypoaldosteronism is a condition characterized by the shortage (deficiency) or impaired function of a hormone called aldosterone. The symptoms of this condition include low sodium (hyponatremia), too much potassium (hyperkalemia), and a condition where the body produces too much acid (metabolic acidosis).

2023年8月7日 · Hypoaldosteronism (HA) is a condition marked by decreased synthesis or diminished release of aldosterone (ALD) from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal glands, or resistance to its action on target tissues.
