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

属一特定激素家族或激素轴的一部，激素共同作用，被称为肾素-血管紧张素-系统。

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

血中减少使得尿钠排出增多。

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

增多症的诊断主要通过测定肾素与的水平来完成。

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

增多症的继发性原因通常是由高水平肾素导致生成过多。

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

所以，肾脏中有一种重要的激素可以帮助调节钾的重吸收和泌，就是。

When there is less sodium, the body increases activity in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system or the RAAS.

当体内钠含量较少时，人体 RAA 系统（肾素血管紧张素系统）开始活跃。

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

有其作用，但在人体中，种荷尔蒙的水平不能太高。

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

高水平会增加体内炎症，导致慢性肾病、骨质疏松症以及心血管疾病。

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

肾脏中一种帮助调节钾重吸收或泌的重要激素叫。

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

另一个例子是肿瘤的生长也会产生过多的，一种类似肾素的物质，会导致液体的积存。

In particular, it's implicated in oxidative stress and myocardial fibrosis — an abnormal thickening of the heart valves.

与氧化应激和心肌纤维化（心脏瓣膜异常增厚）尤其相关。

This taking up more space issue triggers another mechanism in our body that causes the hormone aldosterone to stop being released.

血管容量的增加触发另一机制造成一激素停止释放。

Hyperaldosteronism can also be due to secondary causes where the pathology lies outside of the adrenal gland.

增多症也可以是继发性的，即病变位肾上腺以外。

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

增多症可以是原发性的，即肾上腺本身产生了过量的。

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

其他导致水平增加的病理状况包括代偿期心衰和肝硬化。

This stimulates the release of aldosterone, which tries to bring blood pressure back up by telling the kidneys to retain more sodium and water.

会刺激的释放，让肾脏保留更多的钠和水来尽量维持血压。

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

因此，在种情况下，水平较高，肾素水平较低。

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

项研究显示，健康正常人采用低盐饮食，其体内水平将增加 3 倍有余。

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

也就是说，遵循世卫组织关盐摄入量建议的人们，他们体内的长期处较高水平。

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

有了药物，就无法发挥其作用了。
