Another example is a tumor that produces excess aldosterone, which just like renin, leads to fluid retention.

另一个例子是肿瘤生长也会产生过醛固，一种类似于物质，会导致液体积存。

With these medications around, aldosterone can't exert its effects.

有了这些药物，醛固就无法发挥其作用了。

An important hormone that helps regulate potassium reabsorption or secretion in the kidneys is aldosterone.

脏中一种帮助调节钾重吸收或分泌重要激叫醛固。

This suggests that people actually following the WHO guidelines are chronically raising their aldosterone.

也就是说，遵循世卫组织关于盐摄入量建议人们，他们体内醛固长期处于较高水平。

Other pathological conditions that cause increased aldosterone levels include compensated heart failure and cirrhosis.

其他导致醛固水平加病理状况包括代偿期心衰和肝硬化。

Aldosterone has it's purpose, but it's not a hormone you want to regularly have high levels of.

醛固有其作用，但在人体中，这种荷尔蒙水平不能太高。

The diagnosis of hyperaldosteronism is mainly done by measuring levels of renin and aldosterone.

醛固症诊断主要通过测定与醛固水平来完成。

Aldosterone is part of a hormone family or axis which work together and are called the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

醛固属于一特定激家族或激轴一部分，这些激共同作用，被称为-血管紧张-醛固系统。

But, as I mentioned earlier, this renin angiotensin aldosterone system is stimulated by low salt intake.

但是，正如我之前提到，低盐饮食会导致 RAA 系统活跃。

Now, an important hormone that helps regulate potassium reabsorption or secretion in the kidneys is aldosterone.

所以，脏中有一种重要激可以帮助调节钾重吸收和分泌，这就是醛固。

So in this case aldosterone levels are high and renin levels are low in.

因此，在这种情况下，醛固水平较高，水平较低。

Secondary causes of hyperaldosteronism are usually due to excess aldosterone production in response to high levels of renin.

醛固症继发性原因通常是由于高水平导致醛固生成过。

As this study shows, a low salt diet increases aldosterone by more than 3 fold in healthy people.

这项研究显示，健康正常人采用低盐饮食，其体内醛固水平将加 3 倍有余。

High aldosterone is associated with increased inflammation, Chronic kidney disease, Osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease.

高醛固水平会加体内炎症，导致慢性病、骨质疏松症以及心血管疾病。

These drugs inhibit Angiotensin Converting Enzyme, hindering an important step in the RAA system resulting in lower aldosterone and lower blood pressure.

这种药物通过抑制血管紧张转化酶作用（RAA 系统关键作用之一），以达到降低醛固水平及血压目。

Hyperaldosteronism can happen due to primary causes which is where the adrenal gland itself is responsible for the excess production of aldosterone.

醛固症可以是原发性，即上腺本身产生了过量醛固。

On the flip side of aldosterone, there is a group of hormones called natriuretic hormones, i. e. sodium urinating hormones.

在醛固另一面，有一组激叫利钠激，也就是钠尿荷尔蒙。

Another study shows that when salt intake drops below 1.5 teaspoons per day, a significant increase in renin and aldosterone occurs.

另一项研究显示，当盐摄入量降至每天 1.5 茶匙以下，人体中醛固及水平将大幅上升。

Aldosterone increases sodium channels on the lumen side of the principal cell and sodium-potassium pumps on the basolateral side of the principal cells.

它加主细胞腔面钠离子、钾离子通道和基底面钠-钾泵数量。

Less aldosterone floating around in the blood causes the body to start dumping sodium from the blood into the urine.

血中醛固减少使得尿钠排出。
