medical educational videos watching ? now this is how you make a video and this is how you narrate! no stupid background music, read the material at perfect voice, tone and pitch. well done and thank you!
Thanks for this. I have this condition and no one has ever explained it to me. Mine is managed with spironolactone and my raging high blood pressure I suffered for 20 years was returned to normal. I was also take off most of my BP meds. It's been a life saver.
I take Eplerenon. Helps too. Same condition. My Blood Pressure is under 120/80 now. Before It was 160/100 and more. I struggled a lot with palpitations and extrasystoles....due to a lack of potassium. It was a odysee of years before a doctor mentioned this condition.
I keep returning to review your lectures, especially the endocrine section (I cannot count how many times I have reviewed medical videos on your channel). I cannot thank you enough. Keep up the fantastic work.
A very clever np with a very good memory, saved my life. She remembered this lesson from her studies and connected me with an endocrinologist. He found the tumor which she suspected. The tumor is super tiny...too tiny to remove but, large enough to reek havoc (my bp was ridiculously high). So the endocrinologist opted to put me on spironolactone. That was back in 2016. I'm still here! I've had a few TIAs (most likely due to a series of lupus flares) but thank the Lord, I had an extremely rapid recovery for each. For the most part my bp's under control (112/72). I'm pretty positive that had the nurse practitioner not been such an attentive student, I would not be here today.
Brilliant explanation! I saw a 20 year old patient today who had uncontrolled HTN despite being on Rx. My consultant told me to rule out secondary causes and I completely forgot about primary and secondary hyperaldosteronism. I just got home and searched for this video, always great having a refresher from time to time. Medicine never ends haha
Don’t feel too bad. I was first diagnosed with high blood pressure in my freshman physical when I joined the track team at my university. I’m 56 and it took a doctor at my daughter’s university (Georgetown - the deserve the credit) who suggested it when I missed her graduation sitting in the hospital on one of my many potassium titrations. Even after that my primary care doctor wasn’t interested in checking (“Oh, that’s really rare, I don’t think we need to consider that.”). Changed doctors, a lot of tests and CT imaging later and surprise surprise …..
this is one of the best lessons regarding this subject ! thats amazing, one simple note is then in the minute 1:54 the video mentioned aldosterone causes ( potassium secretion ) not to be confused by the clinical presentation of hypokalemia, so dont forget that this is happening inside the distal tubule and thus it will be ( excreted ) in the urine causing the potassium to be low in the bloodstream.
Bilateral adrenal hyperplasia is more common than adrenal adenoma as a cause for hyperaldosteronism(Although previously it was thought otherway around)
That's exactly what my doc told me. I have bilateral hyperaldosteronism, but the adrenal adenoma is NOT secreting the hormone. So it has not been removed, but I am taking medications to help manage it.
hey, I have final exams in 5 days and I was striving to understand the material from my lecture notes. This video made everything really clear in my head! Thank you!
MD's I highly recommend a "CT" scan on the adrenal gland left and right with and without contrast patients sometimes have adrenal adenomas which is a benign tumor That releases one of the three corticosteroids like aldosterone and also potassium ...a routine checkup is also recommended if they're suffering from hypertension or uncontrollable high blood pressure before checking any of these boxes Good luck and long live the free unbiased medical enlightenment!!
loved the video, just figured out my aldosterone to renin ratio is too high so i probably have primary hyperaldosteronism and its so interestign learning about how everything works :)
Laid in the hospital after successful surgery. Less than 24 hours since the tumour and gland removed and already there has been significant improvement.
Thanks! I am a general practitioner in the UK. This means I see patients with all health problems, from pregnancy, through childhood, adulthood and into old age.
Great video, what is your recommended diet for the patients, i assume DASH diet low sodium high potassium.what about water intake, since higher volume of water in blood, presumably. Any suggestions 😊😊😊😊
Hello, I have primary hyperaldosteronism. My aldosterone to renin levels are 70 to 1. After having a CT and MRI, the doctors determined I was -what they called - a type 7 (undetermined). Spironolactone is my primary medication; I do have a major side effect of this drug, as my chest is flabby. I've been on this drug since 1997.
in the video it says one of the causes of primary hyperaldosteronism is bilateral adrenal hyperplasia, wouldn't it be more correct to say "bilateral hyperplasia of zona glomerulosa" since in Congenital adrenal hyperplasia the opposite happens that is low levels of aldosterone thank you the videos was very helpful
Hi I’m a respiratory therapist,low woman on the totem pole. I have hyerpetaldoseronism and recently diagnosed with benign fasciculation syndrome. I have had no success as to why I have them both. Would any of your kind listeners or any doctors out there know of any correlation between the two? Does anyone know of any study’s going on for either one? Just a very fatigued exhausted 58 year old respiratory therapist in Ohio!
Hi. Can you explain what happens to the levels of angiotensin 1 and 2 in conns syndrome? Renin is obviously low due to primary hyperaldosteronism. Thanks
Hello, I have a question if you don't mind. I just took the blood test and Aldosterone was in the normal range, my Renin Activity, Plasm were LOW and my Aldos/Renin Ration was HIGH. The numbers ranged from 1-30 and mine was a 35. What does that mean?
Hi, i have very high blood pressure, normal renin levels but very high aldosterone levels,. is this primary or secondary? ive seen reports for high renin/high Aldos and low renin/high Aldos , but i cant find any advice on normal renin and high Aldos. Please advise

Important note: Conn's syndrome describes only the adenoma and does not include the rest of the cause of primary hyperaldosteronism.
Amazing thanku sir ❤
Thank you for this video! You're a great help
Thanks Doc!!

Hi there, you say: the HORMONE Renin. In all other tutorials, i read ENZYME. So is Renin an enzyme or a hormone? Thank you. It's excellent.
Yes you are absolutely right - renin is an enzyme, not a hormone!
@@ZeroToFinals thank you so much.
You're great guys 👏
Thanks!
thank you it's super helpful
Amazing explanation tysm❤️

How can I get these questions at the end of Lecture
Masha Allah it's simply the best
Amazing ❤

Hi Adeola. I'm glad you found it! Thanks for the comment.

Thank you so much sir 💕☺️💕☺️💕☺️💕

Hi, I wonder if renin is a protein or hormone.
It is a hormone of protein nature
Brilliant. Thx
Hi, i have very high blood pressure, normal renin levels but very high aldosterone levels,. is this primary or secondary? ive seen reports for high renin/high Aldos and low renin/high Aldos , but i cant find any advice on normal renin and high Aldos. Please advise
it is primary hypaldosteronism
@@71mrunalrekhate53 actually we discovered after numerous tests and CT scans ect 4 different specialists, we discovered that it is secondary hyperaldosteronism cause by obstructive sleep apnea.
Too good thank u soo much!
very helpful, thank you.
My aldosterone to renin ratio is 12.5 but my doctor said my blood pressure is not directly affected by this
Your doctor is just a salesman for big Pharma, He’s there to protect the institution not to protect you
explains a lot! Thanks.
No problem Jack. Glad to help
You’re the best thank you
apparently bilateral adrenal hyperplasia is now the most common cause?
Can anybody explain... If secondary hyperaldosteronism is part of conn's disease or not.......
ON POINT!!!
