... Aldosterone Secretion Aldosterone plays an important role in the maintenance of volume and K + bal- ance via its effects on NaCl and K + excretion . 120 Thus , it is appropriate that angiotensin II ( the production of which varies ...
... aldosterone secretion is frequently elevated . Sodium loading reverses this sequence , as Na✶ excretion is increased , while K + balance is maintained due to the offsetting effects of increased distal delivery and reduced aldosterone ...
... Aldosterone and the plasma K✶ concentration After a K + load , the small increase in the plasma K + concentration stimulates the release of aldosterone , 37 and both of these then promote distal K + secretion ( see Fig . 12-10 ) .
