Difference between Aldosterone and Blood pressure

Aldosterone vs. Blood pressure

Aldosterone, the main mineralocorticoid hormone, is a steroid hormone produced by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland. Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.

Similarities between Aldosterone and Blood pressure

Aldosterone and Blood pressure have 23 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adrenal cortex, Adrenal gland, Angiotensin, Angiotensin-converting enzyme, Antimineralocorticoid, Atrium (heart), Baroreceptor, Blood plasma, Blood pressure, Blood volume, Cardiovascular disease, Distal convoluted tubule, Heart, Hypertension, Kidney, Nephron, Potassium, Renal function, Renin, Renin–angiotensin system, Sodium, Spironolactone, Steroid hormone.

Adrenal cortex

Situated along the perimeter of the adrenal gland, the adrenal cortex mediates the stress response through the production of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids, such as aldosterone and cortisol, respectively.

Adrenal gland

The adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are endocrine glands that produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol.

Angiotensin

Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme

Angiotensin-converting enzyme, or ACE, is a central component of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), which controls blood pressure by regulating the volume of fluids in the body.

Antimineralocorticoid

An antimineralocorticoid, MCRA, or an aldosterone antagonist, is a diuretic drug which antagonizes the action of aldosterone at mineralocorticoid receptors.

Atrium (heart)

The atrium is the upper chamber in which blood enters the heart.

Baroreceptor

Baroreceptors (or archaically, pressoreceptors) are sensors located in the blood vessels of all vertebrate animals.

Blood plasma

Blood plasma is a yellowish coloured liquid component of blood that normally holds the blood cells in whole blood in suspension; this makes plasma the extracellular matrix of blood cells.

Blood pressure

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.

Blood volume

Blood volume is the volume of blood (both red blood cells and plasma) in the circulatory system of any individual.

Cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels.

Distal convoluted tubule

The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) is a portion of kidney nephron between the loop of Henle and the collecting tubule.

Heart

The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system.

Hypertension

Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.

Kidney

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs present in left and right sides of the body in vertebrates.

Nephron

The nephron (from Greek νεφρός – nephros, meaning "kidney") is the microscopic structural and functional unit of the kidney.

Potassium

Potassium is a chemical element with symbol K (from Neo-Latin kalium) and atomic number 19.

Renal function

Renal function, in nephrology, is an indication of the kidney's condition and its role in renal physiology.

Renin

Renin (etymology and pronunciation), also known as an angiotensinogenase, is an aspartic protease protein and enzyme secreted by the kidneys that participates in the body's renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS)—also known as the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone axis—that mediates the volume of extracellular fluid (blood plasma, lymph and interstitial fluid), and arterial vasoconstriction.

Renin–angiotensin system

The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) or the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) is a hormone system that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance.

Sodium

Sodium is a chemical element with symbol Na (from Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.

Spironolactone

Spironolactone, sold under the brand name Aldactone among others, is a medication that is primarily used to treat fluid build-up due to heart failure, liver scarring, or kidney disease.
