Primary aldosteronism, a major form of low renin hypertension: from screening to diagnosis
There is general consensus on the use of (but not cut-off values for) the aldosterone/plasma renin activity ratio as a screening test for primary aldosteronism. There is also agreement on the need for subsequent confirmatory testing, but not on the protocols to be chosen. The four most common confirmatory tests in clinical practice are oral sodium loading, intravenous saline infusion, captopril challenge and fludrocortisone administration plus sodium loading. The choice of test reflects multiple variables: patient factors (including accessibility, compliance and safety), established practice and cost. Finally, subtype forms and lateralization of aldosterone production should be established by bilateral adrenal venous sampling, despite its technical difficulty and varying criteria for success
Monogenic Forms of Hypertension
Essential hypertension is a highly prevalent disease in the general population. Secondary hypertension is characterized by a specific and potentially reversible cause of increased blood pressure levels. Some secondary endocrine forms of hypertension are common (caused by uncontrolled cortisol, aldosterone, or catecholamines production). This article describes rare monogenic forms of hypertension, characterized by electrolyte disorders and suppressed renin-aldosterone axis. They represent simple models for the physiology of renal control of sodium levels and plasma volume, thus reaching a high scientific interest. Furthermore, they could explain some features closer to the essential phenotype of hypertension, suggesting a mechanistically driven personalized treatment
Bromocriptine acts as an agonist-antagonist of angiotensin in human adrenocortical Conn’s adenomatous cells in primary culture
Bromocriptine acts as an agonist-antagonist of angiotensin in human adrenocortical Conn’s adenomatous cells in primary cultur
Primary tissue culture of human adrenocortical Conn's adenomata. Bromocriptine as a possible agonist-antagonist of angiotensin at the cellular level.
Angiotensin II-induced the hypertrophy of the cytoplasmic compartment and significantly increased (5-3H)uridine incorporation into RNA species by Conn's human adult adenomatous cells in primary tissue culture. On its own, bromocriptine, while enlarging only the nucleolar compartment, also intensely stimulated the incorporation of (5-3H)uridine into RNA species by the cultured adrenocortical adenomatous cells. However, an equimolar mixture of angiotensin II and bromocriptine was totally ineffective, eliciting no change in cellular morphometry or isotope incorporation with respect to the control specimens run in parallel. The present findings support the view that bromocriptine can influence the metabolism of Conn's cells directly at the cellular level by acting as an agonist-antagonist of angiotensin
