Chronobiological study of factors affecting plasma aldosterone concentration in cirrhosis
1986
Abstract We studied the mechanisms leading to derangement of aldosterone secretion in cirrhosis. The circadian patterns of plasma renin activity (PRA), aldosterone, cortisol, sodium, and potassium were studied in 16 nonazotemic cirrhotics (group 1 without ascites, 7 cases; group 2 with ascites, 9 cases) and 7 healthy controls. Group 1 did not differ from controls in aldosterone, sodium, and potassium mean daily levels (mesors), but had reduced PRA mesor (p
