Effect of administered mineralocorticoids or ACTH in pregnant women: Attenuation of kaliuretic influence of mineralocorticoids during pregnancy

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The role of augmented aldosterone production in pregnancy is poorly understood. Whereas some consider aldosterone secretion in pregnancy excessive, others suggest that this is a compensatory phenomenon. According to yet another view, mechanisms other than the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system control sodium homeostasis in pregnancy.
