Cross-sectional association between plasma aldosterone concentration and cognitive performance by mini-mental state examination in community dwellers [PDF]

Frontiers in Nutrition
BackgroundAldosterone is the effector hormone in the renin angiotensin aldosterone system and existing data suggest aldosterone affect cognitive function.

Adipose Composition Before and After Primary Aldosteronism Treatment Depends on Primary Aldosteronism Subtypes and Plasma Aldosterone Concentration Before the Treatment [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension
The abdominal and ectopic fats increase after primary aldosteronism (PA) treatment in aldosterone‐producing adenoma (APA) but not idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA) has been reported.

Aldosterone and Impaired Nocturnal Blood Pressure Decline in Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background The loss of physiological nocturnal blood pressure (BP) decline is a major contributor to cardiovascular risk, yet its endocrine underpinnings in primary aldosteronism (PA) remain underexplored. This study aimed to elucidate the dose‐dependent

Captopril challenge test in the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism: consistency between 1- and 2- h sampling

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
ObjectiveTo examine the consistency of plasma aldosterone concentration at 1 and 2 h in the captopril challenge test (CCT) and to explore the possibility of replacing 2-h aldosterone concentration with 1-h aldosterone concentration for diagnosis of ...

Heightened Cardiovascular Risk in Hypertension Associated With Renin‐Independent Aldosteronism Versus Renin‐Dependent Aldosteronism: A Collaborative Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background While both renin‐dependent and renin‐independent aldosterone secretion contribute to aldosteronism, their relative associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk has not been investigated.

Effect of Anti-Hypertensive Medication on Plasma Concentrations of Lysyl Oxidase: Evidence for Aldosterone-IL-6-Dependent Regulation of Lysyl Oxidase Blood Concentration

Biomedicines, 2022
Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is a secretory protein that catalyzes elastin and collagen cross-linking. Lowering LOX expression and activity in endothelial cells is associated with a high risk of aneurysms and vascular malformation.

Comparison of the Chemiluminescence Immunoassay LIAISON® with the Radioimmunoassay for Aldosterone and Renin Measurement

Prague Medical Report, 2021
Determination of renin plasma levels is useful in the diagnosis of hypertension and in the therapeutic follow-up of hypertensive patients. Plasmatic concentration of renin decreases in patients with hypertension due to a primary hyperaldosteronism ...

Clinical impacts of endothelium-dependent flow-mediated vasodilation assessment on primary aldosteronism

Endocrine Connections, 2021
Objective: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is divided into two major subtypes, aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) and bilateral idiopathic hyperplasia (IHA) and is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events.

Adrenal and Hepatic Venous Sampling in a Case of Aldosterone-Producing Adrenocortical Carcinoma with Hepatic Metastasis

Case Reports in Endocrinology, 2021
Background. Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy. ACCs often secrete adrenal steroid hormones including cortisol and androgens; however, aldosterone-producing ACC is very rare.
