Difference between Fludrocortisone and Mineralocorticoid

Fludrocortisone vs. Mineralocorticoid

Fludrocortisone, sold under the brand name Florinef among others, is a corticosteroid which is used to treat adrenogenital syndrome, postural hypotension, and adrenal insufficiency. Mineralocorticoids are a class of corticosteroids, which in turn are a class of steroid hormones.

Similarities between Fludrocortisone and Mineralocorticoid

Fludrocortisone and Mineralocorticoid have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Addison's disease, Aldosterone, Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Corticosteroid, Cortisol, Edema, Glucocorticoid, Hypertension, Organic compound, Steroid.

Addison's disease

Addison's disease, also known as primary adrenal insufficiency and hypocortisolism, is a long-term endocrine disorder in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough steroid hormones.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are any of several autosomal recessive diseases resulting from mutations of genes for enzymes mediating the biochemical steps of production of mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids or sex steroids from cholesterol by the adrenal glands (steroidogenesis).
