Abstract Renal potassium wasting syndromes, such as Gitelman's syndrome (GS), are well documented in humans but rarely reported in veterinary medicine. This case describes a 6‐month‐old domestic medium‐hair cat presenting with chronic hypokalaemia, polyuria and polydipsia. Diagnostic evaluation revealed hypokalaemia, metabolic alkalosis, hypochloraemia

Clinical Significance of Skeletal Fat‐to‐Muscle Ratio in Idiopathic Hyperaldosteronism
ABSTRACT Objective The objective of this study is to evaluate the correlation between the fat‐to‐muscle ratio (FMR) and insulin resistance (IR) with aldosterone production among patients with idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA). Methods Patients with primary aldosteronism were screened from those with secondary hypertension and then subtyped via ...

The results of immunohistochemical study of antibodies to CYP11B2 in primary hyperaldosteronism
Background: Aldosterone-producing adrenocortical adenoma (APA) is responsible for the majority of cases clinically diagnosed as primary aldosteronism. Aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) is one of the enzymes that play essential roles in aldosterone synthesis

Activation of aldosterone secretion in primary aldosteronism [PDF]
Angiotensin infusion evokes marked increases in aldosterone secretion in primary aldosteronism and little change in secondary aldosteronism. The low plasma renin activity of primary aldosteronism and the elevated plasma renin activity of secondary aldosteronism are thought to account for this differential response.

Ouabain‐induced hypertension in rats: Mechanisms, variability and translational implications
Abstract Ouabain‐induced hypertension is a multifactorial and condition‐dependent phenomenon involving coordinated actions across vascular, renal and central nervous system pathways. At the vascular level, ouabain inhibits Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase, particularly the α2‐isoform, leading to elevated intracellular Ca2⁺, enhanced vasoconstriction and structural ...
