What Conditions are Associated with Aldosterone Imbalance?
Several conditions can result from or be influenced by aldosterone imbalance, including:
- Hyperaldosteronism: This condition involves excessive production of aldosterone, leading to hypertension and low potassium levels. It may be primary (resulting from adrenal gland issues) or secondary (due to conditions like heart failure or liver disease). - Hypoaldosteronism: Insufficient aldosterone production can lead to low blood pressure, high potassium levels, and dehydration.
Both conditions can have implications for reproductive health and require careful management.
