BACKGROUND
Recent studies showed a possible association between hyperaldosteronism and secondary hyperparathyroidism leading to reduced bone health, however results are conflicting.
METHODS
We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between primary aldosteronism (PA) with bone
Context: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most frequent form of endocrine hypertension. Besides its deleterious impact on cardiovascular target organ damage, PA is considered to cause osteoporosis.
Enzyme histocytochemical staining including alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, 3 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 11 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was studied in human adrenocortical adenomas associated with primary aldosteronism. Histochemically, these enzyme activities were weaker in
Aldosteronism eventuates in a proinflammatory/fibrogenic vascular phenotype of the heart and systemic organs. It remains uncertain whether peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are activated before tissue invasion by monocytes/macrophages and lymphocytes, as is the case for responsible
OBJECTIVE
To describe a unique example of renal tubular acidosis type 2 (RTA 2) in conjunction with Fanconi's syndrome and osteomalacia consequent to vitamin D and calcium deficiency in an adult without underlying gastrointestinal disease.
METHODS
We review the clinical, hormonal, histomorphometric,
Plasma aldosterone levels were measured in 50 patients with confirmed liver metastases from various histologically proved primary tumors. None of these patients had electrolyte abnormalities or history of benign liver disease, congestive heart failure, hypertension, or renal disease. Patients with
Investigations in animals have shown that nicotinic acid, an intestinal cyclic-AMP inhibitor, partially corrects the metabolic changes associated with urinary diversion through intestinal segments. Blood and serum chemistry were studied in patients before and 3 to 5 months after undergoing urinary
In a 10-year-old castrated male shorthaired German pointer polyuria was associated with slight hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia and alkalosis, as well as elevated plasma concentrations of a glucocorticoid-inducible iso-enzyme of alkaline phosphatase. Repeated measurements of urinary corticoids and
Persons participating in a 5-day diagnostic protocol were routinely typed for ABO, Rh, MNS, Kell, Kidd, Duffy, P, Haptoglobin, phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM-1), and acid phosphatase (AcP). The study population was composed of 164 normotensive whites, 34 normotensive blacks, 161 whites and 43 blacks with
A sensitive solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed using two anti-human renin monoclonal antibodies, which were shown to bind both human as well as primate renin at two different epitopic sites. One monoclonal antibody (3-36-16) was used to coat each well of a 96
The use of intestinal segments in the urinary tract can cause metabolic changes that depend on the intestinal segment utilized. The severity of these changes basically depends on the area of the intestinal mucosa in contact with urine, the duration of exposure to urine and renal function. The length
The possible hormonal interactions of parathormone and extracellular calcium level with other endocrine systems were studied. Primary hyperparathyroidism was used first as a clinical model, in which hypercalcemia and normocalcemia occurs before and after surgery, respectively. An increased activity
Primary aldosteronism is associated with glucose intolerance and diabetes, which is due in part to impaired insulin release caused by reduction of potassium, although other possibilities remain to be elucidated. To evaluate the in vivo effects of aldosterone on glucose metabolism, a single dose of
Plasma aldosterone/renin ratio (ARR) is a useful method for primary aldosteronism (PA) screening. However some confounders, such as medications and dietary, affect plasma renin and aldosterone levels, resulting in false-negative or -positive plasma ARR. This study investigated the association
Klotho is a potent regulator of 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] formation and calcium-phosphate metabolism. Klotho-hypomorphic mice (kl/kl mice) suffer from severe growth deficits, rapid aging, hyperphosphatemia, hyperaldosteronism, and extensive vascular and soft tissue calcification. Sequelae
