Another example is a tumor that produces excess aldosterone, which just like renin, leads to fluid retention.

另个例子是肿瘤的生也会产生过多的醛，种类似于肾的物质，会导致液体的积存。

High aldosterone is associated with increased inflammation, Chronic kidney disease, Osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease.

高醛水平会增加体内炎症，导致慢性肾病、骨质疏松症以及心血管疾病。

This suggests that people actually following the WHO guidelines are chronically raising their aldosterone.

也就是说，遵循世卫组织关于盐摄入量建议的人们，他们体内的醛期处于较高水平。

Now, an important hormone that helps regulate potassium reabsorption or secretion in the kidneys is aldosterone.

所以，肾脏中有种重要的可以帮助调节钾的重吸收和分泌，这就是醛。

Aldosterone has it's purpose, but it's not a hormone you want to regularly have high levels of.

醛有其作用，但在人体中，这种荷尔蒙的水平不能太高。

Aldosterone is part of a hormone family or axis which work together and are called the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

醛属于特定家族或的部分，这些共同作用，被称为肾-血管紧张-醛系统。

An important hormone that helps regulate potassium reabsorption or secretion in the kidneys is aldosterone.

肾脏中种帮助调节钾重吸收或分泌的重要叫醛。

But, as I mentioned earlier, this renin angiotensin aldosterone system is stimulated by low salt intake.

但是，正如我之前提到的，低盐饮食会导致 RAA 系统活跃。

The diagnosis of hyperaldosteronism is mainly done by measuring levels of renin and aldosterone.

醛增多症的诊断主要通过测定肾与醛的水平来完成。

Less aldosterone floating around in the blood causes the body to start dumping sodium from the blood into the urine.

血中醛减少使得尿钠排出增多。

So in this case aldosterone levels are high and renin levels are low in.

因此，在这种情况下，醛水平较高，肾水平较低。

As this study shows, a low salt diet increases aldosterone by more than 3 fold in healthy people.

这项研究显示，健康正常人采用低盐饮食，其体内醛水平将增加 3 倍有余。

Secondary causes of hyperaldosteronism are usually due to excess aldosterone production in response to high levels of renin.

醛增多症的继发性原因通常是由于高水平肾导致醛生成过多。

This taking up more space issue triggers another mechanism in our body that causes the hormone aldosterone to stop being released.

血管容量的增加触发另机制造成醛这停止释放。

Other pathological conditions that cause increased aldosterone levels include compensated heart failure and cirrhosis.

其他导致醛水平增加的病理状况包括代偿期心衰和肝硬化。

With these medications around, aldosterone can't exert its effects.

有了这些药物，醛就无法发挥其作用了。

These drugs inhibit Angiotensin Converting Enzyme, hindering an important step in the RAA system resulting in lower aldosterone and lower blood pressure.

这种药物通过抑制血管紧张转化酶的作用（RAA 系统的关键作用之），以达到降低醛水平及血压的目的。

On the flip side of aldosterone, there is a group of hormones called natriuretic hormones, i. e. sodium urinating hormones.

在醛的另面，有组叫利钠，也就是钠尿荷尔蒙。

Another study shows that when salt intake drops below 1.5 teaspoons per day, a significant increase in renin and aldosterone occurs.

另项研究显示，当盐摄入量降至每天 1.5 茶匙以下，人体中的醛及肾水平将大幅上升。

Hyperaldosteronism can happen due to primary causes which is where the adrenal gland itself is responsible for the excess production of aldosterone.

醛增多症可以是原发性的，即肾上腺本身产生了过量的醛。
