Primary aldosteronism and its variants.
Primary aldosteronism is an adrenal abnormality in which there is an excessive production of aldosterone above that required for electrolyte homeostasis which is not driven by known stimulators of aldosterone secretion, although these may retain some degree of modulatory activity on aldosterone secretion. In the early years following the description of primary aldosteronism, the etiology was as...
متن کاملRenin and aldosterone in essential hypertension.
1. The renin-aldosterone system was studied in seventy-one selected hypertensive patients. Nine (13%) were diagnosed as having primary aldosteronism. Ofthe twentythree patients who presented with a history of unprovoked hypokalaemia, the incidence of primary aldosteronism was 40%. 2. Renin and aldosterone responses to the combined stimuli of a low sodium diet and the upright posture were suppre...
متن کاملگزارش یک مورد هیپرآلدوسترونیسم به علت Aldosteronoma
Primary hyperaldosteronism is one of the few causes of hypertension that can be cured by surgery. Primary hyperaldosteronism is caused by adrenocortical adenoma or hyperplasia. It is important to differentiate between adrenal adenoma and hyperplasia because the preferred treatments are different. In all patients with new-onest or worsening hypertension the primary hyperaldosteronism should be c...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of the post-captopril test in primary aldosteronism.
Primary aldosteronism is a disorder with hypertension, hypokalemia, increased plasma aldosterone, and suppressed renin activity. A random plasma aldosterone/renin activity (PA/PRA) >65 (conventional units ratio [CUR] >30) has been proposed as a screening test. We have retrospectively determined the value of the post-captopril plasma aldosterone/renin activity (CAPT PA/PRA) test for the diagnosi...
متن کاملIndirect evidence for vascular uptake of circulating renin in hypertensive patients.
To evaluate whether, in the forearm of hypertensive patients with different circulating renin profiles, local beta-adrenergic receptor-induced production of active renin, plasma renin activity, angiotensin I (Ang I), and angiotensin II (Ang II) was or was not related to the renin profile, we studied four groups of patients: 1) hypertensive patients with primary aldosteronism and suppressed circ...
