2. Endocrine diseases

Adenoma

An adenoma is a benign tumor of epithelial tissue with glandular origin, glandular characteristics, or both.

See Liddle's syndrome and Adenoma

Aldosterone

Aldosterone is the main mineralocorticoid steroid hormone produced by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland.

See Liddle's syndrome and Aldosterone

Americans

Americans are the citizens and nationals of the United States.

See Liddle's syndrome and Americans

Amiloride

Amiloride, sold under the trade name Midamor among others, is a medication typically used with other medications to treat high blood pressure or swelling due to heart failure or cirrhosis of the liver.

See Liddle's syndrome and Amiloride

Autosome

An autosome is any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome.

See Liddle's syndrome and Autosome

Collecting duct system

The collecting duct system of the kidney consists of a series of tubules and ducts that physically connect nephrons to a minor calyx or directly to the renal pelvis.

See Liddle's syndrome and Collecting duct system

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by impaired cortisol synthesis.

See Liddle's syndrome and Congenital adrenal hyperplasia

Constipation

Constipation is a bowel dysfunction that makes bowel movements infrequent or hard to pass.

See Liddle's syndrome and Constipation

Dominance (genetics)

In genetics, dominance is the phenomenon of one variant (allele) of a gene on a chromosome masking or overriding the effect of a different variant of the same gene on the other copy of the chromosome. Liddle's syndrome and dominance (genetics) are autosomal dominant disorders.

See Liddle's syndrome and Dominance (genetics)

Endocrinology

Endocrinology (from endocrine + -ology) is a branch of biology and medicine dealing with the endocrine system, its diseases, and its specific secretions known as hormones.

See Liddle's syndrome and Endocrinology

Epithelial sodium channel

The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), (also known as amiloride-sensitive sodium channel) is a membrane-bound ion channel that is selectively permeable to sodium ions.

See Liddle's syndrome and Epithelial sodium channel

Epithelium

Epithelium or epithelial tissue is a thin, continuous, protective layer of compactly packed cells with little extracellular matrix.

See Liddle's syndrome and Epithelium

In cell biology, extracellular fluid (ECF) denotes all body fluid outside the cells of any multicellular organism.

See Liddle's syndrome and Extracellular fluid

Grant Liddle

Grant Winder Liddle (June 27, 1921 – June 29, 1989) was an American endocrinologist whose research focused largely on the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis.

See Liddle's syndrome and Grant Liddle

Hyperaldosteronism

Hyperaldosteronism is a medical condition wherein too much aldosterone is produced.

See Liddle's syndrome and Hyperaldosteronism

Hypertension

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.

See Liddle's syndrome and Hypertension

Hypokalemia

Hypokalemia is a low level of potassium (K+) in the blood serum.

See Liddle's syndrome and Hypokalemia

Kidney

In humans, the kidneys are two reddish-brown bean-shaped blood-filtering organs that are a multilobar, multipapillary form of mammalian kidneys, usually without signs of external lobulation.

See Liddle's syndrome and Kidney

Kidney transplantation

Kidney transplant or renal transplant is the organ transplant of a kidney into a patient with end-stage kidney disease (ESRD).

See Liddle's syndrome and Kidney transplantation

Metabolic alkalosis is an acid-base disorder in which the pH of tissue is elevated beyond the normal range (7.35–7.45).

See Liddle's syndrome and Metabolic alkalosis

Nephrology

Nephrology is a specialty for both adult internal medicine and pediatric medicine that concerns the study of the kidneys, specifically normal kidney function (renal physiology) and kidney disease (renal pathophysiology), the preservation of kidney health, and the treatment of kidney disease, from diet and medication to renal replacement therapy (dialysis and kidney transplantation).

See Liddle's syndrome and Nephrology

Nephron

The nephron is the minute or microscopic structural and functional unit of the kidney.

See Liddle's syndrome and Nephron

Potassium

Potassium is a chemical element; it has symbol K (from Neo-Latin kalium) and atomic number19.

See Liddle's syndrome and Potassium

Potassium-sparing diuretic

Potassium-sparing diuretics or antikaliuretics refer to drugs that cause diuresis without causing potassium loss in the urine.

See Liddle's syndrome and Potassium-sparing diuretic

Primary aldosteronism

Primary aldosteronism (PA), also known as primary hyperaldosteronism, refers to the excess production of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal glands, resulting in low renin levels and high blood pressure.

See Liddle's syndrome and Primary aldosteronism

Proteasome

Proteasomes are protein complexes which degrade ubiquitin-tagged proteins by proteolysis, a chemical reaction that breaks peptide bonds.

See Liddle's syndrome and Proteasome

Pseudohyperaldosteronism

Pseudohyperaldosteronism (also pseudoaldosteronism) is a medical condition which mimics the effects of elevated aldosterone (hyperaldosteronism) by presenting with high blood pressure, low blood potassium levels (hypokalemia), metabolic alkalosis, and low levels of plasma renin activity (PRA).

See Liddle's syndrome and Pseudohyperaldosteronism

Renin

Renin (etymology and pronunciation), also known as an angiotensinogenase, is an aspartic protease protein and enzyme secreted by the kidneys that participates in the body's renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS)—also known as the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone axis—that increases the volume of extracellular fluid (blood plasma, lymph and interstitial fluid) and causes arterial vasoconstriction.

See Liddle's syndrome and Renin

Shortness of breath

Shortness of breath (SOB), known as dyspnea (in AmE) or dyspnoea (in BrE), is an uncomfortable feeling of not being able to breathe well enough.

See Liddle's syndrome and Shortness of breath

Signs and symptoms

Signs and symptoms are the observed or detectable signs, and experienced symptoms of an illness, injury, or condition.

See Liddle's syndrome and Signs and symptoms

Sodium

Sodium is a chemical element; it has symbol Na (from Neo-Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.

See Liddle's syndrome and Sodium

Sodium channel

Sodium channels are integral membrane proteins that form ion channels, conducting sodium ions (Na+) through a cell's membrane.

See Liddle's syndrome and Sodium channel

Spironolactone

Spironolactone, sold under the brand name Aldactone among others, is a diuretic medication primarily used to treat fluid build-up due to heart failure, liver scarring, or kidney disease.

See Liddle's syndrome and Spironolactone

Triamterene

Triamterene (traded under names such as Dyrenium and Dytac) is a potassium-sparing diuretic often used in combination with thiazide diuretics for the treatment of high blood pressure or swelling.

See Liddle's syndrome and Triamterene

Ubiquitin

Ubiquitin is a small (8.6 kDa) regulatory protein found in most tissues of eukaryotic organisms, i.e., it is found ''ubiquitously''.

See Liddle's syndrome and Ubiquitin

Vanderbilt University

Vanderbilt University (informally Vandy or VU) is a private research university in Nashville, Tennessee.

See Liddle's syndrome and Vanderbilt University
