1.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分泌重要激素叫醛固酮。

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

其他导致醛固酮增加病理状况包括代偿期心衰和肝硬化。

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

有了这些药物，醛固酮就无法发挥其作用了。

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

另一个例子生长也会产生过多醛固酮，一种类似于肾素物质，会导致体积存。

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

醛固酮有其作用，但在人体中，这种荷尔蒙不能太高。

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

醛固酮属于一特定激素家族或激素轴一部分，这些激素共同作用，被称为肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统。

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

但，正如我之前提到，低盐饮食会导致 RAA 系统活跃。

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

醛固酮增多症诊断主要通过测定肾素与醛固酮来完成。

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

所以，肾脏中有一种重要激素可以帮助调节钾重吸收和分泌，这就醛固酮。

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

醛固酮增多症继发性原因通常由于高肾素导致醛固酮生成过多。

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

因此，在这种情况下，醛固酮较高，肾素较低。

12.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，其体内醛固酮将增加 3 倍有余。

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

也就说，遵循世卫组织关于盐摄入量建议人们，他们体内醛固酮长期处于较高。

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

高醛固酮会增加体内炎症，导致慢性肾病、骨质疏松症以及心血管疾病。

15.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素转化酶作用（RAA 系统关键作用之一），以达到降低醛固酮及血压目。

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

醛固酮增多症可以原发性，即肾上腺本身产生了过量醛固酮。

17.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，人体中醛固酮及肾素将大幅上升。

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

在醛固酮另一面，有一组激素叫利钠激素，也就钠尿荷尔蒙。

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

它增加主细胞腔面钠离子、钾离子通道和基底面钠-钾泵数量。

20.The other function of aldosterone is to stimulate the ATPase pumps in alpha-intercalated cells which causes more protons to get excreted into the urine.

醛固酮另一个功能刺激α-闰细胞上ATP酶泵（H+-K+-ATP酶）使更多氢离子排泄到尿中。
