Plasma renin activity, plasma aldosterone and arginine-vasopressin concentrations were determined in five diarrhoeic and five healthy newborn calves. In animals suffering from diarrhoea these three parameters were 10-15 times higher than those observed in controls. These results suggest that the hormonal systems that control fluid and electrolyte homeostasis are highly stimulated by dehydration and salt depletion induced by faecal losses of water and sodium in calves affected with diarrhoea.

IgA vasculitis with nephritis accompanied by pulmonary tuberculosis: a case report.
CEN Case Rep

Department of Medical Science and Cardiorenal Medicine, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, Yokohama, Japan.
A 69-year-old Japanese man developed abdominal pain, purpura, proteinuria, and hematuria while receiving treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. A skin biopsy revealed IgA-positive leukocytoclastic vasculitis, and a renal biopsy showed IgA-positive mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis with crescent formation. Based on these findings, we diagnosed IgA vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN) and initiated treatment.

Background: Hypertension therapy in older adults is often suboptimal, in part because of inadequate suppression of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). We hypothesised that distinct endotypes of RAAS activation before noncardiac surgery are associated with increased risk of myocardial injury.
Methods: This was a prespecified exploratory analysis of a multicentre randomised controlled trial (ISRCTN17251494) which randomised patients ≥60 yr old undergoing elective noncardiac surgery to either continue or stop RAAS inhibitors (determined by pharmacokinetic profiles).
Objective: Aim: The aim of the study was evaluation of the methionine-enkephalin in patients with severe COVID-19 with various activities of the renin-aldosterone system in comparison with COVID-19 patients with pre-existing comorbidities (renal cell cancer, critical limb ischemia) and adverse pregnancy outcomes..
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: To test our hypothesis, this case-control study consisted of 20 healthy donors (control group); 49 patients with a positive diagnosis of COVID-19 according to PCR analysis; 15 patients with a positive diagnosis of COVID-19 in combination with renal cell cancer; 29 patients with a positive diagnosis of COVID-19 in combination with critical limb ischemia, 10 pregnant womens with COVID-19.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined renal hypokalemia's clinical features and genetic mutations in patients.
- Five patients were diagnosed with tubular hypokalemia, but their common symptoms made diagnosis challenging.
- Genetic analysis revealed several mutations linked to conditions like Bartter syndrome and renal tubular acidosis, highlighting the importance of molecular diagnosis for better treatment.
Relationship Between Renin, Aldosterone, Aldosterone-to-Renin Ratio and Arterial Stiffness and Left Ventricular Mass Index in Young Adults.

Article Synopsis
- Primary aldosteronism is linked to increased cardiovascular risks and can affect young adults' arterial health and heart structure before clinical symptoms appear.
- This study used data from the Raine Study, analyzing young adults at ages 17 and 27 to investigate the relationships between aldosterone levels, arterial stiffness, and left ventricular mass index (LVMI).
- Results showed that females had higher aldosterone-to-renin ratios than males, and notable associations were found between aldosterone levels and LVMI in males at age 27.
