In acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patient's higher aldosterone levels correlate with worse postdischarge outcomes, suggesting that further modulation of the mineralocorticoid system during or immediately after hospitalization might favorably improve outcomes. This was an observational, retrospective ...
The levels of aldosterone, renin and cortisol may indicate a number of different health conditions, including: Primary hyperaldosteronism (also known as Conn’s syndrome): high aldosterone, normal cortisol, low renin Secondary hyperaldosteronism: high aldosterone, normal cortisol, high renin ...
The GG genotype was also correlated with higher plasma aldosterone levels in healthy subjects. In both the mild hypertensive group and The Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety cohort the genotype GG was associated with higher systolic blood pressure in males. In conclusion, the G allele of ...
The syndrome of primary aldosteronism (PA) was first described by Conn in 1955 . It is characterized by hypertension, suppressed plasma renin activity (PRA), increased plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC), and insuppressible aldosterone levels in the b
. Under conditions of salt limitation, normal subjects show increases in renal plasma flow during infusion of renin inhibitors. The systemic and renal hemodynamic responses to renin inhibition are accompanied by suppression of plasma renin activity, plasma angiotensin II and plasma aldosterone levels 5...
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is recognized as the main regulatory system of hemodynamics in man, and its derangements have a key role in the development and maintenance of arterial hypertension. Classification of the hypertensive states according to different patterns of renin and ...

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), is an old system with new fundamental roles in cancer biology which influences cell growth, migration, death, and metastasis. RAAS signaling enhances cell proliferation in malignancy directly and indirectl
Levels of aldosterone were significantly correlated with levels of renin in all horses (r = 0.62, P less than 0.001) but not with those of cortisol, and renin was negatively correlated with age in male horses (r = -0.54, P less than 0.05). Horse plasma renin had a pH optimum of 6.0...
