Loss of bone minerals and strength in rats with aldosteronism.

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a clinical syndrome with origins rooted in a salt-avid state largely mediated by effector hormones of the circulating renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Other participating neurohormones include catecholamines, endothelin-1, and arginine vasopressin. CHF is accompanied by a systemic illness of uncertain causality. Features include the appearance of oxidative...

Diuretics and bone loss in rats with aldosteronism.

OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that the increased urinary Ca2+ and Mg2+ excretion and bone loss that accompanies aldosteronism is aggravated with furosemide and is attenuated by spironolactone. BACKGROUND Furosemide, a loop diuretic, is commonly used in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), in which chronic, inappropriate (dietary Na+) elevations in plasma aldosterone (ALDO) and a catabol...

Bone and Mineral Metabolism in Patients with Primary Aldosteronism

Primary aldosteronism represents major cause of secondary hypertension, strongly associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Aldosterone excess may influence mineral homeostasis, through higher urinary calcium excretion inducing secondary increase of parathyroid hormone. Recently, in a cohort of PA patients a significant increase of primary hyperparathyroidism was found, sugges...
