on aldosterone in canine Cushing's disease.
Not exact matches
Eating less sodium decreases the production of
aldosterone causing your body to hold
on to less water.
So, I would suspect that you drink a normal amount of water, being a healthy guy, but that you probably urinate quite a bit, and you're not actually holding
on to that water because your
aldosterone's low and you're losing sodium.
And in the last marker, I just want to point out to you that
aldosterone there, that's like a marker down, I read that one, it was really interesting because your blood chemistry, or a previous one, showed an alteration in sodium and potassium, I won't get to the details unless you want me to, but you usually see that pattern in sodium and potassium
on you if you have low cortisol, low cortisol, low
aldosterone.
But with low
aldosterone, I will tell you, you have a hard time holding
on to your water.
Your cortisol, however, these are both adrenally produced hormones, your cortisol is high, but your
aldosterone is a little bit low, which is really curious and paints kind of a larger picture as to possibly what's going
on with this.
Dr. Justin Marchegiani: Except if it's low — if it's low, it'll bring it up much higher because you know, let's say your adrenals are really key at holding
on to minerals and if you're decreasing your mineral retention because the
aldosterone that your adrenals make is low because of the adrenal dysfunction that's happening, you will pee out more minerals and that — that's important for regulating blood pressure and that's also important for their sodium potassium pumps, so if we don't have enough high quality sodium, those sodium potassium pumps kinda that creates the gradient and how things go in and out of the cell, now if don't have adequate sodium
on board, that can definitely be a stressor for the body.
This condition occurs when your adrenals, two small glands located
on the top of the kidney, produce too much of
aldosterone.
Having too much
aldosterone causes the body to hold
on to sodium, resulting in salt and water build - up and a rise in blood pressure.
Aldosterone: The major mineralocorticoid, aldosterone is part of the renin - angiotensin system and acts on the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the nephron (the functional unit of the kidney) to cause conservation of sodium, secretion of potassium, increased water retention, and increased bloo

Although this cascade of reactions is designed to sustain osmotic balance and blood pressure, chronically elevated levels of renin and
aldosterone have significant negative effects
on the condition of the circulatory system and may stimulate inflammatory agents within the body.
Effects of low sodium diet versus high sodium diet
on blood pressure, renin,
aldosterone, catecholamines, cholesterols, and triglycerides.
Production of
aldosterone by the adrenals depends
on how much cortisol - stimulating hormone (ACTH) is being sent from the brain.
Another consequence of low
aldosterone is electrolyte imbalance and cell dehydration, which both have negative effects
on almost all physiological reactions in the body: aside from salt cravings, low blood pressure and light - headedness, patients with adrenal fatigue often experience an irregular heart beat, lethargy, muscle weakness, and increased thirst.
Hi there sock doc just looking for a bit of advice
on an issue - I've been having frequent nighttime urination
on and off during periods of hard training and reckon it may be linked to
aldosterone issues as outlined - health and performance otherwise very good and diet excellent just looking to see what your advice for me would be re supplements lifestyle changes etc
If your dog is diagnosed with Addison's, she may need to be
on a lifelong replacement of both cortisol and
aldosterone.
