Correlation with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and glomerular filtration rate in chronic renal failure patients

Diyala Journal of Medicine, 2023
Background: One of the more significant hormonal systems, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, controls the kidney function, adrenal gland through its effect on the balance of sodium and potassium, blood pressure, fluid volume, and also manages the

Serum Soluble Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme-2 Level and Its Potential Association With The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System in Non-Hypertensive Iraqi COVID-19 Patients: An Observational Study

Iraqi Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2023
Background: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov2) which utilizes angiotensin converting enzyme2 (ACE2) to invade the host cells.

The cytochrome 11B2 aldosterone synthase gene rs1799998 single nucleotide polymorphism determines elevated aldosterone, higher blood pressure, and reduced glomerular filtration, especially in diabetic female patients

Endocrine Regulations, 2020
Objective. The cytochrome 11B2 aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2) that links to aldosterone synthase enzyme synthesis changes and blood pressure regulation is of particular interest among the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system encoding genes.

Aliskiren, Fosinopril, and Their Outcome on Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) in Rats with Thyroid Dysfunction

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2019
Background and Objectives. Thyroid hormones have an important role in the growth and development of various tissues including the kidney, which is the major site of renin release and the consequent angiotensin and aldosterone formation.

Renin angiotensin aldosterone system in anaphylactic reactions induced by immunotherapy

Allergology International, 1998
Although patients with a history of hymenoptera venom anaphylaxis showed significantly reduced plasma levels of angiotensin-I and angiotensin-II compared to controls, there is no study in the literature to investigate the renin angiotensin aldosterone ...

Suppression of Aldosterone Synthesis and Secretion by Channel Antagonists

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2012
Aldosterone, a specific mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) agonist and a key player in the development of hypertension, is synthesized as a final product of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Class A scavenger receptor MARCO negatively regulates Ace expression and aldosterone production

eLife
Aldosterone is a potent cholesterol-derived steroid hormone that plays a major role in controlling blood pressure via regulation of blood volume. The release of aldosterone is typically controlled by the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, situated in ...

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and the aging kidney [PDF]

Expert Review of Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2014
Human senescence induces changes in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) which consists of a substantial decrease in its plasma activity. Consequently, the distal tubule´s capability of handling sodium and potassium is significantly reduced in the elderly, while distal tubule acidification is slightly delayed but preserved in this age group.

New Approaches to Blockade of the Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System: Mineralocorticoid-Receptor Blockers Exert Antihypertensive and Renoprotective Effects Independently of the Renin–Angiotensin System

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
The role of angiotensin II in mediating hypertension and renal diseases is well documented, and inhibition of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system elicits antihypertensive and renoprotective effects.
