Hyperkalemia and Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System Inhibitors Dose Therapy in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction [PDF]
Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) are known to improve outcomes in patients who have heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

The vascular renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system [PDF]
PhDThe renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is one of the major regulators of blood pressure. The actions and generation of RAAS components at the tissue level are less well appreciated.

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system during haemodialysis with acetate or bicarbonate at different dialysate sodium concentrations [PDF]
The hormones of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system were measured during regular haemodialysis with acetate or bicarbonate at dialysate sodium concentrations of 135, 140, 145, and 150 mmol/l.

Regulation of plasma aldosterone during hemodialysis [PDF]
In order to clarify the influence of serum potassium, serum sodium and plasma angiotensin II concentrations on aldosterone release during hemodialysis (HD), six chronic hemodialysis patients were studied during HD with varying dialysate sodium ...

The renin angiotensin aldosterone system and COVID-19
The ongoing pandemic has stimulated study of the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS), and how it can be manipulated to treat COVID-19. Studies are examining whether drugs that act on the RAAS system might be useful to treat COVID-19. COVID-19 and

Hypertension Management in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Hypertension and chronic kidney disease are closely linked. Patients with chronic kidney disease have hypertension almost universally and uncontrolled hypertension accelerates the decline in kidney function. The pathophysiology of hypertension in chronic

Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and renin-aldosterone in volume regulation of patients with cirrhosis [PDF]
The role of the atrial natriuretic factor and of the main counteracting sodium-retaining principle, the renin-aldosterone system, in acute volume regulation of cirrhosis of the liver has been investigated.

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

Aldosterone status associates with insulin resistance in patients with heart failure-data from the ALOFT study [PDF]
<b>Background</b>: Aldosterone plays a key role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. In around 50% of such patients, aldosterone 'escapes' from inhibition by drugs that interrupt the renin-angiotensin axis; such patients have a worse ...
