Isolated acquired hypoaldosteronism (HA) is considered to be a cause of hypovolemic hyponatremia (HH) with urinary sodium loss (UNaL) and hyperkalemia/upper-limit serum potassium (SK). However, some authors question the presentation of hyponatremia of these characteristics in the absence of Addison’s disease (AD).We present a series of patients with HA. Methods: Aretrospective study of 70 cases of HH with UNaL (UNa > 25 mmol/l) and SK ≥ 5 mmol/l or in...

Low-renin hypertension (LRH) with normal or elevated aldosterone levels is considered part of the spectrum of aldosterone-associated hypertension, and can cause poorly-controlled hypertension. We studied patients diagnosed with LRH, comparing their clinical and biochemical characteristics with patients diagnosed with primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA). Methods Retrospective. Diagnosis in a general Endocrinology out-patient clinic ove...

Acquired Hypoaldosteronism may be caused by low circulating aldosterone levels (AD), resistance to mineralocorticoid action (MR), or a combination of both (CB). We describe the clinical/biochemical characteristics of these three types of hypoaldosteronism. Methods Retrospective review of a series of 177 patients with acquired hypoaldosteronism assessed by the Endocrinology Department of a tertiary teaching hospital from 2012 to 201...

Introduction Institutional campaigns, and some health care professionals, encourage the elderly to drink large quantities of fluids, regardless of their level of thirst. Furthermore, SIADH-inducing medications can often cause dryness of mouth. Thus, patients when diagnosed with SIADH can have a high fluid intake (FI), drinking in the absence of thirst. However, fluid restriction, considered the first step in therapy of mild/moderate SIADH hyponatremia, h...
