 | | Interestingly, the same patient was unresponsive to intravenous infusion of aldosterone and fludrocortisone (up to 3 mg/day) when studied in infancy (108), suggesting that the clinical improvement that has been noted in the majority of PHA patients with age may be related to changes in their responsiveness to mineralocorticoid. | | | In this chapter, aldosterone deficient conditions other than primary adrenal insufficiency and congenital adrenal hypoplasia are reviewed. | | | The therapeutic approach should be chosen after taking into consideration the age of the patients and other concurrent disorders. |

| | REGULATION POTASSIUM AND SODIUM by STEROIDS |
| | Potassium feedback is the main regulation of aldosterone in normal diet and health, and the other features of aldosterone's regulation are for the purpose of fine tuning and forestalling future circumstances. | | | Feedback by aldosterone concentration itself of a non morphological character (that is other than changes in the cells' number or structure) is poor so the electrolyte feedbacks predominate short term [Glaz & Vecsei]. | | | DOC has a similar feedback with respect to potassium as aldosterone. |

| | In the renal collecting duct (CD) the major physiological role of aldosterone is to promote Na+ reabsorption. | | | In the present study, we investigated the influence of aldosterone on AQP2 expression in mpkCCDC14 cells by RNase protection assay and Western blot analysis. | | | In addition, aldosterone may also influence CD water permeability elicited by vasopressin (AVP). |
