- Hyperaldosteronism occurs when the adrenal glands release too much aldosterone. (medlineplus.gov)
- Secondary hyperaldosteronism is due to a problem elsewhere in the body that causes the adrenal glands to release too much aldosterone. (medlineplus.gov)
- Hyperaldosteronism is a medical condition wherein too much aldosterone is produced by the adrenal glands, which can lead to lowered levels of potassium in the blood (hypokalemia) and increased hydrogen ion excretion (alkalosis). (wikipedia.org)

Sodium6
- Excess urination causes a change in fluid distribution in the body because it affects sodium concentration in the blood. (livestrong.com)
- When a person makes excess urine for a significant period of time, sodium in the blood increases as a result. (livestrong.com)

Hormones3
- Sometimes, one or both adrenal glands make and secrete an excess of one of these hormones. (harvard.edu)
- Because these tumors tend to be found years after they began growing, they have the opportunity to invade nearby organs, spread to distant organs (metastasize) and cause numerous changes in the body because of the excess hormones they produce. (wvendocrine.com)
