    In severe or acute hypoosmolar hyponatremia, swelling of brain cells causes various neurological abnormalities, which in severe or acute cases can result in convulsions, coma, and death. The symptoms of chronic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis are more vague, and may include cognitive impairment , gait abnormalities , or osteoporosis .

  3. Hyperaldosteronism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperaldosteronism

    Secondary hyperaldosteronism can also be caused by proximal renal tubular acidosis. [7] Secondary hyperaldosterone can be caused by a genetic mutation in the kidneys which causes sodium and potassium wasting. These conditions can be referred to syndromes such as Bartter syndrome and Gitelman syndrome. [8]

  4. Apparent mineralocorticoid excess syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_mineralocorticoid...

    Cortisol at high concentrations can cross-react and activate the mineralocorticoid receptor due to the non-selectivity of the receptor, leading to aldosterone-like effects in the kidney. This is what causes the hypokalemia, hypertension, and hypernatremia associated with the syndrome. Patients often present with severe hypertension and end ...

    Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone secretion (SIADH) in turn can be caused by a number of problems. Some forms of cancer can cause SIADH, particularly small cell lung carcinoma but also a number of other tumors. A variety of diseases affecting the brain or the lung (infections, bleeding) can be the driver behind SIADH.

    Other medications for high blood pressure and a low salt diet, e.g. DASH diet, may also be needed. [1] [4] Some people with familial hyperaldosteronism may be treated with the steroid dexamethasone. [1] Primary aldosteronism is present in about 10% of people with high blood pressure. [1] It occurs more often in women than men. [5]

  7. Cushing's syndrome - Wikipedia

    Cushing's syndrome is a collection of signs and symptoms due to prolonged exposure to glucocorticoids such as cortisol. [4] [9] [10] Signs and symptoms may include high blood pressure, abdominal obesity but with thin arms and legs, reddish stretch marks, a round red face due to facial plethora, [11] a fat lump between the shoulders, weak muscles, weak bones, acne, and fragile skin that heals ...

  8. Talk : Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Syndrome_of...

    SIADH causes HYPOnatremia not HYPERnatremia, since the nephrons don't allow the loss of as much water as they should. They still lose the sodium, so since the sodium level drops but the water level doesn't drop as fast, HYPOnatremia delvelops. As far as I could see, the article does call, it HYPOnatremia, which is correct.

  9. Aldosterone escape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldosterone_escape

    In physiology, aldosterone escape is a term that has been used to refer to two distinct phenomena involving aldosterone that are exactly opposite each other: . Escape from the sodium-retaining effects of excess aldosterone (or other mineralocorticoids) in primary hyperaldosteronism, manifested by volume and/or pressure natriuresis.
