Primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) is characterized by aldosterone excess and hypertension. This may be linked to increased renal Na+ reabsorption via the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) and the NaCl cotransporter (NCC).

Regulation of plasma aldosterone during hemodialysis [PDF]
In order to clarify the influence of serum potassium, serum sodium and plasma angiotensin II concentrations on aldosterone release during hemodialysis (HD), six chronic hemodialysis patients were studied during HD with varying dialysate sodium ...

Aldosterone status associates with insulin resistance in patients with heart failure-data from the ALOFT study [PDF]
<b>Background</b>: Aldosterone plays a key role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. In around 50% of such patients, aldosterone 'escapes' from inhibition by drugs that interrupt the renin-angiotensin axis; such patients have a worse ...

Body mass index predicts aldosterone production in hypertensive postmenopausal women
Hypertension is a common clinical problem, and increased aldosterone is the most prevalent underlying characteristic. Related works have shown exciting results on the effects of various conditions on aldosterone content, but the correlation between ...

Nongenomic effects of aldosterone on phosphocreatine levels in human calf muscle during recovery from exercise. [PDF]
Nongenomic in vitro effects of aldosterone on the sodium-proton antiport and intracellular second messengers have been described in human mononuclear leukocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells.

Aldosterone plays a pivotal role in electrolyte and fluid homeostasis and thus control of blood pressure. The “classical” view of aldosterone action is that it targets epithelia of the distal colon and renal nephron to stimulate Na+(re)absorption and K+secretion.

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system during haemodialysis with acetate or bicarbonate at different dialysate sodium concentrations [PDF]
The hormones of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system were measured during regular haemodialysis with acetate or bicarbonate at dialysate sodium concentrations of 135, 140, 145, and 150 mmol/l.

The Inositol- 1,4,5=Trisphosphate System Is Involved in Rapid Effects of Aldosterone in Human Mononuclear Leukocytes [PDF]
There is increasing evidence for rapid steroid action on electrolyte transport in human mononuclear leukocytes (HML). In HML, aldosterone stimulates the Na+/H+ antiporter within a few minutes. Because a variety of hormones and growth factors activate the

Effect of aldosterone on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of human peritoneal mesothelial cells
Background: Peritoneal fibrosis is one of the major causes of technical failure in patients on peritoneal dialysis. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the peritoneum is an early and reversible mechanism of peritoneal fibrosis. Human peritoneal

Abnormality of Aldosterone and Cortisol Late Pathways in Glucocorticoid-Remediable Aldosteronism. [PDF]
Patients with glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism (GRA) possess a chimeric gene resulting from fusion of the genes encoding steroid aldosterone synthase and 11 beta-hydroxylase.
