2. Feline hyperaldosteronism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_Hyperaldosteronism

   Feline hyperaldosteronism is a disease in cats. The symptoms are caused by abnormally high concentrations of the hormone aldosterone, [1] which is secreted by the adrenal gland. The high concentrations of aldosterone may be due directly to a disorder of the adrenal gland (primary hyperaldosteronism), or due to something outside of the adrenal ...

3. Chronic kidney disease in cats - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_kidney_disease_in_cats

   Cats are carnivores. The kidney is a vital organ with a variety of tasks. It plays an important role in maintaining the water, electrolyte and acid-base balance, in the excretion of toxic metabolic degradation products such as urea and in the recovery of valuable substances such as glucose, amino acids, peptides and minerals initially filtered out of the blood during ultrafiltration in the ...

4. Aldosterone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldosterone

   Aldosterone is increased at low sodium intakes, but the rate of increase of plasma aldosterone as potassium rises in the serum is not much lower at high sodium intakes than it is at low. Thus, potassium is strongly regulated at all sodium intakes by aldosterone when the supply of potassium is adequate, which it usually is in hunter-gatherer diets.

6. Primary aldosteronism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_aldosteronism

   For people with hyperplasia of both glands, successful treatment is often achieved with spironolactone or eplerenone, drugs that block the aldosterone receptor. With its antiandrogen effect, spironolactone drug therapy may have a range of side effects in males and females, including gynecomastia and irregular menses. These symptoms occur less ...

7. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndrome_of_inappropriate...

   This is due to a variety of mechanisms including: stimulation of ADH release (opiates, ifosfamide, vincristine, platinum-based antineoplastics and MDMA (also known as ecstasy)); enhancers of ADH effect (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories); ADH analogues (desmopressin, oxytocin); and vasopressin receptor 2 activators (selective serotonin reuptake ...

8. Apparent mineralocorticoid excess syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_mineralocorticoid...

   The inactivating mutation leads to elevated local concentrations of cortisol in the aldosterone sensitive tissues like the kidney. Cortisol at high concentrations can cross-react and activate the mineralocorticoid receptor due to the non-selectivity of the receptor, leading to aldosterone-like effects in the kidney.

9. Adrenal insufficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_insufficiency

   Adrenal insufficiency is a condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce adequate amounts of steroid hormones.The adrenal glands—also referred to as the adrenal cortex—normally secrete glucocorticoids (primarily cortisol), mineralocorticoids (primarily aldosterone), and androgens.
