Stimulation of renin secretion by potassium-channel activation with cromakalim [PDF]

, 1989
The cardiovascular and endocrine profile of cromakalim has been studied in 8 healthy men (age 25 +/- 2 years: means SEM) and its influence on renin release from cultured rat juxtaglomerular cells in vitro has also been examined.

Hypertension with unilateral adrenal aldosterone and cortisol cosecreting adenoma: A case report

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2021
Here, we report a case of unilateral adrenal aldosterone and cortisol co‐secreting adenoma. A 34‐year‐old man with a history of severe hypertension for one year was detected hypokalemia (2.42 mmol/L lowest) and unilateral adrenal mass in a size of 71 mm ...

Comparisons of plasma aldosterone and renin data between an automated chemiluminescent immunoanalyzer and conventional radioimmunoassays in the screening and diagnosis of primary aldosteronism.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Determining values of plasma renin activity (PRA) or plasma active renin concentration (ARC), plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC), and aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) is essential to diagnose primary aldosteronism (PA), but it takes several days with

Adrenal (Pro)renin Receptor Expression and Serum Soluble (Pro)renin Receptor Concentration in Primary Aldosteronism

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2020
The (pro)renin receptor [(P)RR] is a multifunctioning protein playing roles in various pathological conditions. A soluble form of (P)RR [s(P)RR] has been considered a biomarker for (P)RR expression in tissues.

Evaluation of oral telmisartan administration as a suppression test for diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism in cats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2023
Background Development of a telmisartan‐based suppression test may facilitate the diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) in cats, which remains difficult today.

The activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system before and after parathyroidectomy in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism

Consilium Medicum, 2021
Background. The relationships between renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and elevated parathyroid hormone levels in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is being actively discussed.

Plasma galectin-3 concentrations in patients with primary aldosteronism

Journal of Hypertension, 2017
The incidence of cardiovascular events is higher in patients with primary aldosteronism than in patients with essential hypertension (EHT), despite similar blood pressure levels. This suggests detrimental cardiovascular effects of aldosterone. Amongst others, it has been suggested that galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a key mediator in aldosterone-induced ...

Use of piretanide, a new loop diuretic in cirrhosis with ascites. Relationship between the diuretic response and the plasma aldosterone level [PDF]

, 1980
Twenty patients with cirrhosis and ascites but no renal failure were given piretanide, a new loop diuretic, in order to investigate its efficacy and to relate the diuretic response with the pretreatment plasma aldosterone concentration.

Association of the trajectory of plasma aldosterone concentration with the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with hypertension: a cohort study

Scientific Reports
The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term pattern of plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) trajectories and to explore the relationship between PAC trajectory patterns and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in patients with hypertension ...

An explorative epigenome-wide association study of plasma renin and aldosterone concentration in a Ghanaian population: the RODAM study [PDF]

, 2022
BACKGROUND: The epigenetic regulation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) potentially plays a role in the pathophysiology underlying the high burden of hypertension in sub-Saharan Africans (SSA).
