Hypertension - CRASH! Medical Review Series 

Haha how embarrassing! I recorded this lecture back in 2013 so I was in internship and living at my parents’ house. That was probably my mother.

How cute! 😂😂

That's fucking cute

I don't understand this either and in 11-beta-hydroxylase-def. you wouldn't have aldosterone but also not any cortisol (so you technically would need to replace both). According to my notes from the endo rotation this disease isn't actually that bad since the mineralocorticoid receptor still responds to aldosterone precursos (even if not as good); now, there's a biphasic response in patients with 11-beta-hydroxylase-def.: as infants they are suffering from Na+ wasting and while they're getting older they can accumulate precursors which will lead to K+ wasting => maybe this buildup is responsible for a late HTN?

Patients with HT are required to make lifestyle modification such as reducing salt intake to reduce blood volume and in turn reduce blood pressure to a level which reduces stress on the vascular system, therefore, reducing the incidence of microvascular events such as stroke, retinopathy and cardiac complications such as left ventricular hypertrophy. Although the kidney is able to regulate the system there is an underlying pathology which requires further interventions such as reducing the dietary intake of salt, in the management of the disease.

After many years of increased salt intake, the kidneys start regulating sodium and volume, and thus blood pressure in a higher level.
