Influence of crying on plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration
European Journal of Pediatrics, 1989Infants and toddlers often start crying at venopuncture and the stress of crying has been known to increase the levels of plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC), but no precise information is available. We measured the levels of PRA and PAC in blood samples taken from 30 infants and toddlers within 1 min after the onset ...

EFFECT OF CARBENOXOLONE ON THE CONCENTRATIONS OF ALDOSTERONE IN RAT PLASMA AND KIDNEY
Journal of Endocrinology, 1979Abstract The renal subcellular distribution of various subcutaneous doses (10−10–10−8 mol) of [3H]aldosterone has been investigated in adrenalectomized rats pretreated with carbenoxolone. Carbenoxolone increased the concentration of plasma [3H]aldosterone, but the uptake of [3H]aldosterone into the kidney nuclear and

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension. Part A: Theory and Practice, 1982
The relative roles of ACTH, angiotensin and potassium in influencing aldosterone secretion in primary aldosteronism were assessed by direct or indirect means. In untreated patients with primary aldosteronism caused either by adrenal adenoma or hyperplasia plasma aldosterone and cortisol concentrations fluctuated in unison and dexamethasone reduced both

Abstract BACKGROUND In primary aldosteronism (PA), aldosterone could affect glomerular hemodynamics by elevating renal vascular resistance and glomerular capillary pressure. However, the relationship between plasma aldosterone concentrations (PAC) and glomerular hemodynamics including efferent ...

Using the plasma aldosterone concentration to plasma renin activity ratio (PAC/PRA ratio) as the screening test of choice for primary aldosteronism in hypertensive patients, we studied the clinical characteristics and the diagnostic value of PAC/PRA ratio in primary aldosteronism.

1. The relationship of changes in plasma renin and plasma aldosterone concentration to electrolyte balance was studied during total fasting and during sodium deprivation followed by total fasting. 2. During simple sodium deprivation obese subjects lost significantly more sodium than lean subjects, but the rise in plasma renin ...

SUMMARYIn a group of eight patients with cirrhosis the rate of renal excretion of the 18‐glucuronide metabolite of aldosterone (UAldoV) was found to be closely related to the aldosterone secretion rate (ASR). UAldoV was therefore used as an index of ASR in a further group of fifty patients in order to evaluate the possible importance of factors known ...

Although aldosterone production declines with age, so does the aldosterone metabolic clearance rate (MCR), and the net effect of age on the circulating level of aldosterone may be less than can be predicted from production rates alone. The effect of age on aldosterone production and plasma levels was studied in a group of elderly individuals at a very ...

Dietary Electrolytes and their Influences on Plasma Aldosterone Concentration
2019Excessive sodium retention is thought to be the main culprit for hypertension. The modern American diet provides an excess of sodium and not sufficient amount of sodium. In this research, we examined the relations among urinary sodium and potassium excretion, and plasma levels of aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid hormone that has been linked to ...
