Aldosterone suppression with dopamine infusion in low-renin hypertension.
A dopaminergic mechanism has been proposed to suppress aldosterone secretion. To assess the possibility that a defect in the dopaminergic mechanism might enhance aldosterone secretion in hypertensive patients, we determined basal and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-stimulated plasma aldosterone (PA), cortisol, renin activity, and potassium concentrations before and during dopamine receptor s...
متن کاملBimodal aldosterone distribution in low-renin hypertension.
BACKGROUND In low-renin hypertension (LRH), serum aldosterone levels are higher in those subjects with primary aldosteronism and may be lower in those with non-aldosterone mineralocorticoid excess or primary renal sodium retention. We investigated the hypothesis that the frequency distribution of aldosterone in LRH is bimodal. METHODS Of the 3,532 attendees at the sixth examination cycle of t...
متن کاملA delayed suppression of the renin-aldosterone axis following saline infusion in human hypertension.
The purpose of this study was to compare the acute suppressibility of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) axis in normotensive (n = 23) and essential hypertensive (n = 62) subjects. Only those hypertensive subjects with normal plasma renin activity (PRA) levels (sodium restricted, upright) were included in the study. Acute suppression of the RAA axis was determined by measuring PRA, plasma ...
متن کاملThe relation of hypertension and aldosterone-renin ratio with the severity of coronary artery disease in non-diabetic patients
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between hypertension and aldosterone-renin ratio (ARR) with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on non-diabetic patients who were candidate for coronary angiography in Shafa hospital in Kerman in 2017. The levels of active renin and ald...
متن کاملRenin and aldosterone in essential hypertension.
1. The renin-aldosterone system was studied in seventy-one selected hypertensive patients. Nine (13%) were diagnosed as having primary aldosteronism. Ofthe twentythree patients who presented with a history of unprovoked hypokalaemia, the incidence of primary aldosteronism was 40%. 2. Renin and aldosterone responses to the combined stimuli of a low sodium diet and the upright posture were suppre...
