A synthetic mineralocorticoid with anti-inflammatory activity.
A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS primarily associated with water and electrolyte balance. This is accomplished through the effect on ION TRANSPORT in renal tubules, resulting in retention of sodium and loss of potassium. Mineralocorticoid secretion is itself regulated by PLASMA VOLUME, serum potassium, and ANGIOTENSIN II.
An ethanolamine derivative that is an adrenergic alpha-1 agonist. It is used as a vasoconstrictor agent in the treatment of HYPOTENSION.
A significant drop in BLOOD PRESSURE after assuming a standing position. Orthostatic hypotension is a finding, and defined as a 20-mm Hg decrease in systolic pressure or a 10-mm Hg decrease in diastolic pressure 3 minutes after the person has risen from supine to standing. Symptoms generally include DIZZINESS, blurred vision, and SYNCOPE.
Deficiency of sodium in the blood; salt depletion. (Dorland, 27th ed)
Volume of PLASMA in the circulation. It is usually measured by INDICATOR DILUTION TECHNIQUES.
A transient loss of consciousness and postural tone caused by diminished blood flow to the brain (i.e., BRAIN ISCHEMIA). Presyncope refers to the sensation of lightheadedness and loss of strength that precedes a syncopal event or accompanies an incomplete syncope. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp367-9)
A group of inherited disorders of the ADRENAL GLANDS, caused by enzyme defects in the synthesis of cortisol (HYDROCORTISONE) and/or ALDOSTERONE leading to accumulation of precursors for ANDROGENS. Depending on the hormone imbalance, congenital adrenal hyperplasia can be classified as salt-wasting, hypertensive, virilizing, or feminizing. Defects in STEROID 21-HYDROXYLASE; STEROID 11-BETA-HYDROXYLASE; STEROID 17-ALPHA-HYDROXYLASE; 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASES); TESTOSTERONE 5-ALPHA-REDUCTASE; or steroidogenic acute regulatory protein; among others, underlie these disorders.
Substances that reduce or suppress INFLAMMATION.

A case of aldosterone-producing adenoma with severe postoperative hyperkalemia. (1/110)

It is known that some patients with primary aldosteronism show postoperative hyperkalemia, which is due to inability of the adrenal gland to secrete sufficient amounts of aldosterone. However, hyperkalemia is generally neither severe nor prolonged, in which replacement therapy with mineralocorticoid is seldom necessary. We report a case of a 46-year-old woman with an aldosterone-producing adenoma associated with severe postoperative hyperkalemia. After unilateral adrenalectomy, the patient showed episodes of severe hyperkalemia for four months, which required not only cation-exchange resin, but also mineralocorticoid replacement. Plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) was low, although PAC was increased after rapid ACTH test. Histological examination indicated the presence of adrenocortical tumor and paradoxical hyperplasia of zona glomerulosa in the adjacent adrenal. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the enzymes involved in aldosterone synthesis, such as cholesterol side chain cleavage (P-450scc), 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3beta-HSD), and 21-hydroxylase (P-450c21), or the enzyme involved in glucocorticoid synthesis, 11beta-hydroxylase (P-450c11beta), were expressed in the tumor, but they were completely absent in zona glomerulosa of the adjacent adrenal. These findings were consistent with the patterns of primary aldosteronism. Serum potassium level was gradually decreased with concomitant increase in PAC. These results suggest that severe postoperative hyperkalemia of the present case was attributable to severe suppression of aldosterone synthesis in the adjacent and contralateral adrenal, which resulted in slow recovery of aldosterone secretion. It is plausible that aldosterone synthesis of adjacent and contralateral adrenal glands is severely impaired in some cases with primary aldosteronism, as glucocorticoid synthesis in Cushing syndrome.  (+info)

Raised aldosterone to renin ratio predicts antihypertensive efficacy of spironolactone: a prospective cohort follow-up study. (2/110)

AIMS: Aldosterone/renin ratio is an index for inappropriate aldosterone activity, and it is increasingly being used to screen for primary aldosteronism within the hypertensive population. It may also be a good index to help predict the response to spironolactone. To assess the blood pressure response to oral spironolactone in hypertensive patients with primary aldosteronism identified with raised aldosterone to renin ratio. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study of hypertensive patients with raised aldosterone/renin ratio, who failed to suppress plasma aldosterone with salt loading and fludrocortisone suppression test. These patients were treated with spironolactone and were followed-up for a period of up to 3 years. RESULTS: We studied 28 (12 male) subjects with a mean age of 55 (s.d. 10) years who were followed up for a mean period of 12.9 (7) months. At baseline, the patients were taking a mean of 2.1 (1.2) antihypertensive drugs, but despite this 16/28 (57%) had diastolic BP >90 mmHg, 39% with systolic BP >160 mmHg. After commencing spironolactone, three patients complained of breast tenderness but continued treatment and one patient was intolerant of spironolactone and had to stop treatment. Of the remaining 27 patients, the mean number of antihypertensive drugs used dropped to spironolactone plus 0.7 (s.d. 0.9). All but one patient (96%) achieved a diastolic BP+info)

Aldosterone synthase deficiency type I with no documented homozygous mutations in the CYP11B2 gene. (3/110)

This case report concerns a girl born from non-consanguineous parents and hospitalized in another hospital at the age of 14 days because of a severe salt-losing syndrome (Na=125, K=8.6 mEq/l). In spite of normal genitalia, diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency was assessed on the basis of a slightly increased 17-OH-progesterone serum level (6.4 ng/ml). The onset of both hydrocortisone and 9alpha-fluorohydrocortisone therapy was followed by a resolution of the clinical picture. At the age of 60 days she was admitted to our clinic for a re-evaluation of the diagnosis. Steroid hormone serum levels were measured after withdrawal of therapy and diagnosis of corticosterone methyl oxidase (CMO) deficiency type I was definitely established in the light of the biochemical results: i.e. very low 18-hydroxycorticosterone (18-OH-B) serum levels (20 pg/ml), an abnormally high corticosterone/18-OH-B serum ratio (306.5) and an abnormally low 18-OH-B/aldosterone serum ratio (2.1). This autosomal recessively inherited disorder can be differentiated from CMO type II and other salt-wasting syndromes only on the basis of the serum steroid hormone pattern. After establishing the diagnosis of CMO I deficiency, hydrocortisone therapy was withdrawn whilst treatment with 9alpha-fluorohydrocortisone was begun again, with a satisfactory clinical and metabolic impact. Direct sequences of the patient's DNA were able to identify only a (heterozygous) amino acid substitution in exon 7 of that gene, which is known to have only a small effect on enzyme activity and cannot be the only cause of the patient's phenotype: valine-386-alanine (V386A) GTG-->GcG. No homozygous mutations in the CYP11B2 gene were observed. This is the first report of a patient with CMO type I who does not carry any homozygous mutation in the entire CYP11B2 alleles, whereas some cases with no mutations in this gene have already been reported in CMO II. The present study seems to be inconsistent with the previously reported correlation of the phenotype and genotype in CMO type I. A reasonable question that might be raised on the basis of our findings in this case report is whether other genes, apart from CYP11B2, are involved in the regulation of terminal aldosterone synthesis.  (+info)

Adverse cardiac effects of salt with fludrocortisone in hypertension. (4/110)

The effect of salt on blood pressure (BP) is controversial. A more important question is whether salt can produce cardiac target-organ damage, irrespective of its effect on BP. We assessed the effect of salt with fludrocortisone on QT dispersion and echocardiographic left ventricular diastolic function in a prospective interventional study involving 29 hypertensive subjects with a raised aldosterone/renin ratio who were hospitalized for investigation of possible primary aldosteronism. Each subject over 4 days was given a total of 28.8 g (480 mmol) of sodium chloride and 1.5 mg of fludrocortisone with potassium supplementation. Baseline and posttreatment 12-lead ECGs and echocardiograms were obtained. There were no significant changes in body weight, pulse rate, or BP after treatment with salt and fludrocortisone. Plasma sodium was significantly increased from 141.4 (SD 2.1) to 142.6 (SD 2.4) mmol/L (P:=0.001). QT and QTc dispersion both significantly increased: +19.6 (SD 16.5) ms (95% CI, 13.4 to 25.9) (P:<0.001) and +19.8 (SD 20.9) ms (95% CI, 11.8 to 27.7) (P:<0.001), respectively. There were no significant changes in (n=15) left ventricular dimensions or systolic function, but all diastolic filling indexes, including the preload-independent index, flow propagation velocity (55.49 [SD 10.91] to 48.96 [SD 11.40] cm/s, P:=0.018) worsened, suggesting significant deterioration of left ventricular diastolic function with salt and fludrocortisone. In conclusion, a combination of salt with fludrocortisone increased QT dispersion and impaired left ventricular diastolic relaxation in hypertensive patients with high aldosterone/renin ratios. This raises the possibility that salt may have BP-independent adverse cardiac effects in susceptible hypertensive subjects.  (+info)

Endothelial cell dysfunction in mice after transgenic knockout of type 2, but not type 1, 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. (5/110)

BACKGROUND: 11beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11betaHSD) isozymes catalyze the interconversion of active and inactive glucocorticoids, allowing local regulation of corticosteroid receptor activation. Both are present in the vessel wall; here, using mice with selective inactivation of 11betaHSD isozymes, we test the hypothesis that 11betaHSDs influence vascular function. METHODS AND RESULTS: Thoracic aortas were obtained from weight-matched male wild-type (MF1x129 cross(+/+)), 11betaHSD1(-/-), and 11betaHSD2(-/-) mice. mRNA for both isozymes was detected in wild-type aortas by RT-PCR. 11betaHSD activity in aortic homogenates (48.81+/-4.65% conversion) was reduced in both 11betaHSD1(-/-) (6.36+/-2.47% conversion; P<0.0002) and 11betaHSD2(-/-) (24.71+/-3.69; P=0.002) mice. Functional responses were unaffected in aortic rings isolated from 11betaHSD1(-/-) mice. In contrast, aortas from 11betaHSD2(-/-) mice demonstrated selectively enhanced constriction to norepinephrine (E(max) 4.28+/-0.56 versus 1.72+/-0.47 mN/mm; P=0.004) attributable to impaired endothelium-derived nitric oxide activity. Relaxation responses to endothelium-dependent and -independent vasodilators were also impaired. To control for chronic renal mineralocorticoid excess, MF1 mice were treated with fludrocortisone (16 weeks) but did not reproduce the functional changes observed in 11betaHSD2(-/-) mice. CONCLUSIONS: Although both 11betaHSD isozymes are present in the vascular wall, reactivation of glucocorticoids by 11betaHSD1 does not influence aortic function. Mice with 11betaHSD2 knockout, however, have endothelial dysfunction causing enhanced norepinephrine-mediated contraction. This appears to be independent of renal sodium retention and may contribute to hypertension in 11betaHSD2 deficiency.  (+info)

An inhibitor of sodium transport in the urine of dogs with normal renal function. (6/110)

The urine and serum of chronically uremic patients and dogs contain an inhibitor of sodium transport that reduces short-circuit current (SCC) in the toad bladder and produces natriuresis in the rat. The present studies represent an effort to determine whether the same inhibitor is detectable in urine of normal dogs maintained on a dosium intake varying from 3 to 258 meq/day. Observations were made with and without fludrocortisone. The same Sephadex G-25 gel filtration fraction previously shown to contain the "uremic" inhibitor was tested in both the isolated toad bladder and rat bioassay systems. The fraction from dogs maintained on 258 meq qodium plus 0.2 mg fludrocortisone/day consistently inhibited SCC in the toad bladder and induced a natriuresis in the rat (P less than 0.001). The fraction from dogs on the same sodium intake without fludrocortisone was also natriuretic (P less than 0.01) but did not inhibit SCC significantly. In contrast, the fraction from dogs fed 3 meq sodium with fludrocortisone or 91 meq sodium without fludrocortisone had no significant effect in either assay system. Thus, an inhibitor of sodium transport has been found in the urine of nonuremic dogs. Both the degree of natriuresis in the rat and the degree of inhibition of SCC in the toad bladder correlated with the state of sodium balance which ensued in the dog.  (+info)

Longitudinal analysis of growth and puberty in 21-hydroxylase deficiency patients. (7/110)

AIMS: To evaluate growth from diagnosis until final height (FH) in 21-hydroxylase deficiency patients. METHODS: A retrospective longitudinal study was performed. Only patients treated with hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone (in case of salt wasting) were evaluated. This resulted in a sample of 34 (21 male, 13 female) salt wasting patients (SW) and 26 (13 male, 13 female) non-salt wasting patients (NSW). Auxological data were compared to recent Dutch reference values. RESULTS: In the first three months of life, the mean length SDS decreased to -1.50, probably because of the high average glucocorticoid dose (40 mg/m2/day). FH corrected for target height (FH(corr)TH) was -1.25 and -1.27 SDS in females and males, respectively. Patients treated with salt supplements during the first year, had a better FH(corr)TH (-0.83 SDS). In NSW patients, FH(corr)TH was -0.96 and -1.51 SDS in females and males, respectively. In SW and NSW, age at onset of puberty was within normal limits, but bone age was advanced. Mean pubertal height gain was reduced in males. Body mass index was only increased in NSW females. CONCLUSION: In SW, loss of final height potential might be a result of glucocorticoid excess in the first three months and sodium depletion during infancy. In NSW, loss of FH potential was caused by the delay in diagnosis. In SW and NSW, the advanced bone age at onset of puberty (undertreatment in prebertal years) resulted in loss of height gain during puberty. The effect of intensive sodium chloride support in early infancy should be examined prospectively. Neonatal screening is required if the height prognosis in NSW patients is to be improved.  (+info)

Fludrocortisone is a synthetic corticosteroid hormone, specifically a mineralocorticoid. It is often used to treat conditions associated with low levels of corticosteroids, such as Addison's disease. It works by helping the body retain sodium and lose potassium, which helps to maintain fluid balance and blood pressure.

In medical terms, fludrocortisone is defined as a synthetic mineralocorticoid with glucocorticoid activity used in the treatment of adrenogenital syndrome and Addison's disease, and as an adjunct in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. It is also used to treat orthostatic hypotension by helping the body retain sodium and water, thereby increasing blood volume and blood pressure.

It is important to note that fludrocortisone can have significant side effects, particularly if used in high doses or for long periods of time. These can include fluid retention, high blood pressure, increased risk of infection, and slowed growth in children. As with any medication, it should be used under the close supervision of a healthcare provider.

Mineralocorticoids are a class of steroid hormones that primarily regulate electrolyte and fluid balance in the body. The most important mineralocorticoid is aldosterone, which is produced by the adrenal gland in response to signals from the renin-angiotensin system. Aldosterone acts on the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the nephrons in the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of sodium ions (Na+) and water into the bloodstream, while promoting the excretion of potassium ions (K+) and hydrogen ions (H+) into the urine. This helps maintain blood pressure and volume, as well as ensuring a proper balance of electrolytes in the body. Other mineralocorticoids include cortisol and corticosterone, which have weak mineralocorticoid activity and play a more significant role as glucocorticoids, regulating metabolism and immune response.

Midodrine is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called vasoconstrictors. It works by narrowing the blood vessels and increasing blood pressure. The medical definition of Midodrine is:

A synthetic derivative of the imidazole compound, adrenergic agonist, which is used in the treatment of orthostatic hypotension. Midodrine is a prodrug that is rapidly metabolized to its active form, desglymidodrine, after oral administration. It selectively binds to and activates alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, causing vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure. The drug's effects are most pronounced on the venous side of the circulation, leading to increased venous return and cardiac output. Midodrine is typically administered orally in divided doses throughout the day, and its use is usually reserved for patients who have not responded to other treatments for orthostatic hypotension.

Orthostatic hypotension is a type of low blood pressure that occurs when you stand up from a sitting or lying position. The drop in blood pressure causes a brief period of lightheadedness or dizziness, and can even cause fainting in some cases. This condition is also known as postural hypotension.

Orthostatic hypotension is caused by a rapid decrease in blood pressure when you stand up, which reduces the amount of blood that reaches your brain. Normally, when you stand up, your body compensates for this by increasing your heart rate and constricting blood vessels to maintain blood pressure. However, if these mechanisms fail or are impaired, orthostatic hypotension can occur.

Orthostatic hypotension is more common in older adults, but it can also affect younger people who have certain medical conditions or take certain medications. Some of the risk factors for orthostatic hypotension include dehydration, prolonged bed rest, pregnancy, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's disease, and certain neurological disorders.

If you experience symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, it is important to seek medical attention. Your healthcare provider can perform tests to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment options. Treatment may include lifestyle changes, such as increasing fluid intake, avoiding alcohol and caffeine, and gradually changing positions from lying down or sitting to standing up. In some cases, medication may be necessary to manage orthostatic hypotension.

Hyponatremia is a condition characterized by abnormally low sodium levels in the blood, specifically levels less than 135 mEq/L. Sodium is an essential electrolyte that helps regulate water balance in and around your cells and plays a crucial role in nerve and muscle function. Hyponatremia can occur due to various reasons, including certain medical conditions, medications, or excessive water intake leading to dilution of sodium in the body. Symptoms may range from mild, such as nausea, confusion, and headache, to severe, like seizures, coma, or even death in extreme cases. It's essential to seek medical attention if you suspect hyponatremia, as prompt diagnosis and treatment are vital for a favorable outcome.

Plasma volume refers to the total amount of plasma present in an individual's circulatory system. Plasma is the fluid component of blood, in which cells and chemical components are suspended. It is composed mainly of water, along with various dissolved substances such as nutrients, waste products, hormones, gases, and proteins.

Plasma volume is a crucial factor in maintaining proper blood flow, regulating body temperature, and facilitating the transportation of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other essential components throughout the body. The average plasma volume for an adult human is approximately 3 liters, but it can vary depending on factors like age, sex, body weight, and overall health status.

Changes in plasma volume can have significant effects on an individual's cardiovascular function and fluid balance. For example, dehydration or blood loss can lead to a decrease in plasma volume, while conditions such as heart failure or liver cirrhosis may result in increased plasma volume due to fluid retention. Accurate measurement of plasma volume is essential for diagnosing various medical conditions and monitoring the effectiveness of treatments.

Syncope is a medical term defined as a transient, temporary loss of consciousness and postural tone due to reduced blood flow to the brain. It's often caused by a drop in blood pressure, which can be brought on by various factors such as dehydration, emotional stress, prolonged standing, or certain medical conditions like heart diseases, arrhythmias, or neurological disorders.

During a syncope episode, an individual may experience warning signs such as lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision, or nausea before losing consciousness. These episodes usually last only a few minutes and are followed by a rapid, full recovery. However, if left untreated or undiagnosed, recurrent syncope can lead to severe injuries from falls or even life-threatening conditions related to the underlying cause.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of inherited genetic disorders that affect the adrenal glands, which are triangular-shaped glands located on top of the kidneys. The adrenal glands are responsible for producing several essential hormones, including cortisol, aldosterone, and androgens.

CAH is caused by mutations in genes that code for enzymes involved in the synthesis of these hormones. The most common form of CAH is 21-hydroxylase deficiency, which affects approximately 90% to 95% of all cases. Other less common forms of CAH include 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency and 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency.

The severity of the disorder can vary widely, depending on the degree of enzyme deficiency. In severe cases, the lack of cortisol production can lead to life-threatening salt wasting and electrolyte imbalances in newborns. The excess androgens produced due to the enzyme deficiency can also cause virilization, or masculinization, of female fetuses, leading to ambiguous genitalia at birth.

In milder forms of CAH, symptoms may not appear until later in childhood or even adulthood. These may include early puberty, rapid growth followed by premature fusion of the growth plates and short stature, acne, excessive hair growth, irregular menstrual periods, and infertility.

Treatment for CAH typically involves replacing the missing hormones with medications such as hydrocortisone, fludrocortisone, and/or sex hormones. Regular monitoring of hormone levels and careful management of medication doses is essential to prevent complications such as adrenal crisis, growth suppression, and osteoporosis.

In severe cases of CAH, early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent or minimize the risk of serious health problems and improve quality of life. Genetic counseling may also be recommended for affected individuals and their families to discuss the risks of passing on the disorder to future generations.

Anti-inflammatory agents are a class of drugs or substances that reduce inflammation in the body. They work by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are released during an immune response and contribute to symptoms like pain, swelling, redness, and warmth.

There are two main types of anti-inflammatory agents: steroidal and nonsteroidal. Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (SAIDs) include corticosteroids, which mimic the effects of hormones produced by the adrenal gland. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a larger group that includes both prescription and over-the-counter medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and celecoxib.

While both types of anti-inflammatory agents can be effective in reducing inflammation and relieving symptoms, they differ in their mechanisms of action, side effects, and potential risks. Long-term use of NSAIDs, for example, can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney damage, and cardiovascular events. Corticosteroids can have significant side effects as well, particularly with long-term use, including weight gain, mood changes, and increased susceptibility to infections.

It's important to use anti-inflammatory agents only as directed by a healthcare provider, and to be aware of potential risks and interactions with other medications or health conditions.
