In the present work, we describe an already known mutation in a new patient affected by apparent mineralocorticoid excess, which results in an arginine-to-cysteine mutation (R213C) in the 11betaHSD2 enzyme. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Both agents have been shown to treat hypertension effectively and to improve morbidity and mortality in patients with advanced congestive heart failure (CHF). [retinalphysician.com]

• Failure to Thrive in Infancy

  Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) is a rare genetic disease of mineralocorticoid resistance characterized by salt wasting and failure to thrive in infancy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hypertension

  KEYWORDS: aldosterone; genetics; hypertension; low-renin; mineralocorticoid receptor; renin [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Diastolic Hypertension

  It is associated with severe systolic and diastolic hypertension. Hypertensive retinopathy appears to be common with these tumors. They usually occur in relatively young patients, with a mean age of 24 years (range 7 to 58 years). [ijem.in]

• Delayed Wound Healing

  However, and despite their therapeutic efficacy, the long-term use of GCs is limited because of the cutaneous adverse effects including atrophy, delayed wound healing, and increased susceptibility to stress and infections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Fear

  The MR-containing NTS neurons innervate limbic-forebrain circuits enabling aldosterone to also modulate reciprocally arousal, motivation, fear and reward. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hepatocellular Carcinoma

  Further investigations indicated that the 5 MR antagonistic metals [ CdCl 2, Pb(NO 3 ) 2, LiCl, MnCl 2 and SnCl 2 ] antagonized aldosterone-inhibited hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Eplerenone treatment alone decreased a number of important muscle-specific genes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis In the absence of treatment, the prognosis for AME is severe with malignant hypertension, stroke, cardiac and renal insufficiency. However, the prognosis for patients with appropriate treatment appears to be good. [orpha.net]

(See "Overview of the therapy of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction" and "Treatment and prognosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction" .) [uptodate.com]

This group also had a good prognosis and full recovery was the rule in the majority of cases after cessation of licorice and potassium replacement. [doi.org]

It is concluded that the mutations identified in 4 of these 5 patients with PHA are polymorphisms, which on their own have no apparent pathophysiological significance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Observations Neurohormonal activation, including aldosteronism, in HF and RHT, has provided the pathophysiologic basis for the inclusion of MRA in the overall management of these disorders and the respective survival benefit and control of blood pressure [jamanetwork.com]

The potential mechanisms of such an effect on mortality in ST-segment elevation MI may be a prevention of the arterial occlusion-related adverse remodeling and/or potentially lethal arrhythmia, as suggested by the authors. [action-coeur.org]
