متن کاملSyndrome of Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess
The first adult case of 1 1,-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase ( 1#6-OHSD) deficiency is described. The impaired conversion of cortisol to cortisone (indicated by urinary cortisol and cortisone metabolites and failure to metabolize 1 a-VIHlcortisol to 13H1H20), was associated with hypertension, hypokalemia, and suppression of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. When established on a fixed Na+/...

Apparent mineralocorticoid excess (AME) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to the deficiency of 11b hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 enzyme (11beta-HSD2).
