Absence or low individual and public risk
Mineralocorticoids - what does this mean
Mineralocorticoids are hormones produced by the adrenal cortex that regulate the balance of minerals, such as sodium and potassium, in the body. they act on the kidneys to help the body retain sodium and excrete potassium, which helps maintain blood pressure and volume. imbalances in mineralocorticoid production can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and other health issues.
What happens during the disease - mineralocorticoids
Mineralocorticoid excess is caused by excessive production of aldosterone, a hormone produced by the adrenal cortex. this hormone is responsible for regulating the body's salt and water balance, and an excess of it can lead to a variety of symptoms, including hypertension, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, and edema. these symptoms can be caused by primary aldosteronism, which is an overproduction of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex, or secondary aldosteronism, which is caused by other conditions such as cirrhosis, congestive heart failure, and renal artery stenosis.

Mineralocorticoids - Prevention
The best way to prevent mineralocorticoid diseases is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. additionally, it is important to monitor blood pressure and electrolyte levels in order to detect any changes that may indicate the onset of a mineralocorticoid disorder.
