Plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration in dogs with acquired portosystemic collaterals

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2020
Background The renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system (RAAS) is activated in humans with portal hypertension (PH) associated with liver disease. However, involvement of RAAS in dogs with intrahepatic PH is not clear.

A case of Williams syndrome with suspected coexisting ectopic aldosterone-producing tumor in the liver

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, 2020
A 31-year-old man with Williams syndrome (WS) was referred to our hospital because of a 9-year history of hypertension, hypokalemia, and high plasma aldosterone concentration to renin activity ratio.

Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of orally administered torasemide in healthy cats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2022
Background In people and dogs, torasemide has higher bioavailability, longer half‐life, and longer duration of action than equivalent doses of furosemide but data regarding pharmacological properties of torasemide in cats are limited. Objective To assess

Plasma aldosterone concentration depressed by iron deficiency in

The FASEB Journal, 2006
To investigate effects of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiency on blood pressure and plasma aldosterone concentration, forty 4‐week‐old male Sprague‐Dawley rats were assigned into 4 dietary treatment groups of 10 for the 4‐week study: Fe‐deficient group (30 mg Zn/kg, no supplemental Fe; FD), Zn‐deficient group (4.5 mg Zn and 35 mg Fe/kg; ZD), Fe/Zn ...

Renal juxtaglomerular cell tumor with normal renin activity and potassium level: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background Benign and rare renal juxtaglomerular cell tumor produces renin, leading to secondary hyperaldosteronism. Typical clinical features include hypertension, elevated renin activity, hyperaldosteronism, and hypokalemia. Herein, we present a unique
