Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in ESKD [PDF]
There is an urgent need for interventions that reduce cardiovascular risks in patients with ESKD. Recently there has been considerable interest in whether blocking the effects of the mineralocorticoid aldosterone could be such an intervention.

Pseudohypoaldosteronism in a newborn male with functional polymorphisms in the mineralocorticoid receptor genes [PDF]
Hyponatremia and hyperkalemia in infancy can be attributed to various causes, originating from a variety of renal and genetic disorders. Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) is one of these disorders, causing mineralocorticoid resistance that results in

The Pathophysiology and Treatment of Hypertension in Patients With Cushing's Syndrome [PDF]
When hypertension, a pathology that is frequently found in the general population, presents in a young patient, secondary causes such as Cushing's syndrome (CS), a rare disease characterized by long-term elevated cortisol levels, should be considered ...

Exclusion of the Locus for Autosomal Recessive Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type 1 from the Mineralocorticoid Receptor Gene Region on Human Chromosome 4q by Linkage Analysis. [PDF]
Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) is an uncommon inherited disorder characterized by salt-wasting in infancy arising from target organ unresponsiveness to mineralocorticoids.
