Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain
Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...

Restricting dietary sodium promotes sodium appetite in rats. Prolonged sodium restriction increases plasma potassium (pK), and elevated pK is largely responsible for a concurrent increase in aldosterone, which helps promote sodium appetite.

Activation of aldosterone secretion in primary aldosteronism [PDF]
Angiotensin infusion evokes marked increases in aldosterone secretion in primary aldosteronism and little change in secondary aldosteronism. The low plasma renin activity of primary aldosteronism and the elevated plasma renin activity of secondary aldosteronism are thought to account for this differential response.

HYPER‐RESPONSIVENESS OF ALDOSTERONE TO METOCLOPRAMIDE IN ALDOSTERONISM [PDF]
Metoclopramide, a dopamine antagonist, stimulates aldosterone secretion in normal man. We studied the response of plasma aldosterone, plasma renin activity, cortisol, sodium, potassium and serum prolactin to a 10‐mg intravenous dose of metoclopramide in six dexamethasone suppressed patients with aldosteronism (four with adrenal adenoma, two with ...
