aldosteronism [al-dos´ter-ōn-izm″, al″do-ster´ōn-izm] an abnormality of electrolyte metabolism produced by excessive secretion of aldosterone" >aldosterone, it may be primary or occur secondarily in response to extra-adrenal disease. There may be hypertension, hypokalemia, alkalosis, muscular weakness, polyuria, and polydipsia. Called also hyperaldosteronism.primary aldosteronism that arising from oversecretion of aldosterone, characterized typically by hypokalemia, alkalosis, muscular weakness, polyuria, polydipsia, hypertension, cardiac irregularity, and tetany. The most common etiologic factors are adrenal adenoma, idiopathic hyperplasia of the adrenal cortex, and occasionally carcinoma of the adrenal gland. Most adenomas affect only one of the two glands and therefore can be removed surgically without depriving the patient of a sufficient supply of adrenal cortical hormones. If removal of both glands is necessary, this creates a serious and potentially fatal insufficiency of the hormones. Called also Conn's syndrome.pseudoprimary aldosteronism that caused by bilateral adrenal hyperplasia and having the same signs and symptoms as primary aldosteronism.secondary aldosteronism that due to extra-adrenal stimulation of aldosterone secretion; it is commonly associated with edematous states, as in nephrotic syndrome, hepatic cirrhosis, heart failure, and accelerated hypertension.al·dos·ter·on·ism (al-dos'tĕr-on-izm), A disorder caused by excessive secretion of aldosterone.

Synonym(s): hyperaldosteronism. aldosteronism The condition caused by excessive secretion of the adrenal HORMONE aldosterone. It features muscle weakness, high blood pressure (HYPERTENSION), ALKALOSIS, excessive urinary output and thirst.AldosteronismA disorder caused by excessive production of the hormone aldosterone, which is produced by a part of the adrenal glands called the adrenal cortex. Causes include a tumor of the adrenal gland (Conn's syndrome), or a disorder reducing the blood flow through the kidney. This leads to overproduction of renin and angiotensin, and in turn causes excessive aldosterone production. Symptoms include hypertension, impaired kidney function, thirst and muscle weakness.Mentioned in: Aldosterone Assay, Electrolyte Disorders, Plasma Renin Activityal·dos·ter·on·ism (al-dos'tĕr-ŏn-izm) A dis-order caused by excessive secretion of aldosterone. aldosteronismenUK
