Characterization of the renin-aldosterone system in decompensated cirrhosis.
Previous studies from this laboratory have demonstrated that the redistribution of blood volume and concomitant central hypervolemia induced by water immersion to the neck (NI) produces a prompt and profound suppression of plasma renin (PRA) and plasma aldosterone (PA) without concomitant alterations in serum sodium and potassium concentrations. The NI model was used to assess the responsivenes...
متن کاملRenin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in cirrhosis.
According to traditional concepts, ascites formation and portal hypertension in cirrhosis lead to a deficit in the 'effective' extracellular fluid (ECF) and blood volumes respectively. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system is thus stimulated and the kidneys retain fluid as a homeostatic mechanism to restore the ECF and blood volumes. Recent studies, however, show that approximately two...
متن کاملRenin - Angiotensin - Aldosterone System
Chronic heart failure (CHF) is associated with endothelial dysfunction. Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is believed to be important in the deterioration of endothelial dysfunction in CHF through stimulation of oxidative stress. Whereas angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) improve endothelial function in CHF, the effects of angiotensin II AT 1-receptor b...
