Popis: The response of plasma aldosterone to hemodialysis, 3 h orthostatism, K-loading and angiotensin II and ACTH infusions has been studied. Hemodialysis, orthostatism and angiotensin II infusion do not modify aldosterone levels. By the contrary ACTH and potassium originate a significant increase in plasma aldosterone. They seem to be the main aldosterone secretion regulators in the absence of renin production.
