Aldosterone raises blood pressure and lowers potassium | NCLEX-RN | Khan Academy

[@perikaveera4438]

I'm a M.D. physician in Mississippi and some of these lectures have helped me in revising what had gotten rusty in my brain.

[@sccm100]

perikaveera do you need to have any form of education to be a doctor in Mississippi?

[@manuelubillus1075]

hahaha what the fuck what kind of question is this

[@stephenprice3357]

Exactly Sebastian 😂😂😂

[@sarahalexander3255]

​@@sccm100 Doctors need a lot of education regardless of where they reside.

[@khanacademymedicine]

Yes Aldosterone is made at some baseline level throughout the day, and that that level of production seems to go up and down based on the level of RAAS stimulation, Potassium levels, and even the time of day.

[@faree38green]

Dr Rishi you are a legend!

[@jeangeraldgilles2984]

God bless Khan Academy!

[@2588ngo]

OMG! studying for my physio exam and this helped soooo much! I couldn't get the mechanism of aldosterone and its relation to K+ excretion.

[@alexcateye]

I finally understand why my Addison's disease gives me metabolic acidosis when I go into crisis. I wondered if it was caused by the dyspnea, but it must be the opposite. Great lectures!

[@FoftheCs]

this. is. incredible.

[@iromine7416]

I love the voice. So i immediately subscribed. haha

[@farishaazman2799]

Thanks for the videos so much helping me im having test tomorrow and this just simplify things for me !

[@chrisatwill9330]

These are the clearest explained videos, with the most pleasant voice and the cutest graphics! Immediately subscribed ! :)

[@nemodot]

that explains why we use potassium sparing diuretics for the prevention of potassium loss. Blocking the action of aldosterone you can get diuresis without K+ leaving. The downside is that it can drive to metabolic acidosis, giving that aldosterone stimulates H+ secretion.

[@bethannmurphy08]

Your videos are absolutely amazing! I am currently taking anatomy and physiology 2 and I am struggling a great deal. My teacher is very nice but this is overall a very tough subject and you do an amazing job explaining it all!!! Do you do all the videos? Also, do you do videos upon request?

[@glowingatom]

thanks learned more from you in 10 min than I did 10 hours in class with my prof.

[@khanacademymedicine]

[@rinaberman7686]

khanacademymedicine While there's a representative in the comments section... Is there a decent amount of Neuroscience videos in this channel? I'm a neuro major.

[@leenahmed147]

Amazing explanation, Thank you so much 💕💕

[@wonderfullymade8690]

I’m studying for my Certification for Dialysis Nurse and your videos are awesome and amazing! Wow! Thank you for making videos that are easy to understand. God bless you!

[@nsas955]

Tnx a lot for this simple and clear explanation. It's really a great thing to do.

[@ionutonea1537]

Very clear explication. Thank you. Any ideea how can I reduce the aldosterone ? And of course the blood preasure ? Thank you very much !!

[@Alchemist37]

Brilliant recap, thanks very much. Off to watch the next one !

[@ぴこ-h5r]

I really love your videos! I started learning hormones in school, but I wanted more detail. Then I found your channel! It's really helping out, so please continue working well. Thanks😂

[@SL-tc6sd]

Thank you Dr. Desai!

[@jamalsa3d]

Awesome!

[@shashi5951]

Super clear. Thank you

[@dr.vrushaliwankhade471]

its just too awesome!....:-)..helped me alot!..thanks..

[@XxI3ioHazardxX]

I am currently taking A2R blockers and was always curious as to why this medication would raise my blood potassium levels. Also, I'm taking the MCAT so this video was helpful for me in 2 ways :)

[@ziyanzhao868]

Video was hecking great thx doc

[@fabinushahid6929]

realy helpfull its looks much simple

[@s1r3n1971]

[@SoraKimchi]

U r amazing❤

[@naziasultanali2202]

[@gummadillianuradha1749]

Thanks I m preparing for neet it helped me to understand concepts no one can teach like this

[@zimorika21]

thank you so much - helped me a lot :D

[@naraelee6854]

you are AWESOME !!

[@dankykang9853]

You are a fantastic teacher.

[@asmaaaaliasmaaalani6665]

Perfect🤩🤯

[@BL00D4NG31]

Hello, what program do you use to make these videos? Thanks :)

[@briannastrube8139]

Way better explanation than how I learned from my professor! Thank you!

[@benoramhovachev9069]

This is super interesting only I'm in the night before mid-term so have no hour to see it all :( -doesn't mean that this video is too long, just shame I don't have enough time to see it all.. Thank you for making videos with full of good knowledges.

[@dzcafe]

great work!

[@constantion305]

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!

[@saminanaeem3112]

wait....what about hydrogen....aldosterone also plays imp role in hydrogen secretion....promoting metabolic alkalosis..... btw great fan of ur videoa...jus clear the potassium bit plzzz

[@Rainbow_1312]

at 1:45 why does it say cholesterol is not visible?

[@simpleelegantdecorations6638]

I have a question for some reason I’m losing potassium tru urine that has drop almost to 2.8 I do have to take potassium pills to keep it up my blood pressure is normal but aldosterone is normal but Renin is low is this mean there is something wrong with kidney

[@001rizwan]

Thank you so much

[@hanosha1323]

Thx alot ❤

[@joannboyd8855]

Treatment?

[@arianapaguntalan46]

This is very helpful, continue to make videos you're doing a great job! making our med-life easier haha

[@Sherirose1]

Thank you. Your videos complement RN Sarah and my brilliant lecturer. I hope I can pass my exam on 25th May

[@DrSivaMahalingam]

Rishi Desai is my hero

[@lailak3031]

Hi, your videos are really really good and I find it really easy to understand. The most common exam question asked for Mpharm students is how does the loop diuretics affect the renal system. Ive searched it but its still not answering the question. Please help.

[@diegos5692]

hyponatremia also results in increased aldosterone secretion

[@geico1212]

Constantly high sodium causes high blood pressure since more water is retained in the blood to keep the osmolarity of the blood at its normal concentration

[@caseyhunter5772]

aldosterone does not affect osmolarity, ADH does

[@zeromethanez]

Isnt the collecting duct impermeable to water? How is water able to permeate through the principal cells?

[@fadifahmi7086]

+zeromethanez i wonder too???

[@kuriatkooooo]

fadi fahmi collecting duct has aquaporines which are recirculated so the water can pass through

[@ahmedwaly5226]

I hane a question, will aldosterone affect the osmilarity of the urine? Or no like what happened with the blood?

[@adamcurtis83]

Where is this man's medal of honour?

[@sueschaer2342]

amazing

[@INNO222]

As early as 10 yrs old. I would get very dizzy and light headed when trying to stand up. Is it aldosterone? Thanks.

[@languageandmana9255]

Wow! Your voice a is so cool and you teach incredibly well! ✨ I'm so happy that this amazing channel is free and I can't thank you enough for being here and helping students like me who can't afford even low membership fees. Please don't forget people like me and continue to make FREE contents as you are amazing at explaining things and making the most informative short videos! ✨❤🙏

[@lancecannon3660]

So high potassium levels make the adrenal gland secrete aldosterone and then aldosterone effects sodium reabsorption which in turn causes potassium retention is this some kind of runaway effect

[@mehulsharma5228]

Rina Berman lots of neuro videos on the website.

[@wonderfo1]

The theory doesn't stack up as some patients suffering from primary aldosteronism have normal potassium levels. Also direutics which removes/reduces sodium in blood has little to no effect on the blood pressure of those suffering from primary aldosteronism.

[@pjruffin7191]

@T Put her on a low carb, heavy plant, low sodium based diet and have her drink half a gallon of water every day. That will down regulate aldosterone

[@jasonichigo306]

explanation was simply ....ahhb ... simply legendary

[@hammhann3818]

❤️❤️❤️

[@mariasong5263]

Are u Mr Wiengarten??

[@vanityromano8030]

love the content, but don't like to wait while you are writing/ identifying the parts, takes up to much time

[@rasmus4236]

2.16 make me laugh out load :D " you can't just make aldosterone willy nilly!"

[@ahmedbadr1133]

Boring.. Had to wait hours before he draws all the ions.

[@caseyhunter5772]

Amazing videos but the mouth noises kill me!

[@kackieedgcumbe8477]

:)

[@bzbz90]

One tip is to make the videos under 10 minutes! These videos are getting too long.

[@nsas955]

Tnx a lot for this simple and clear explanation. It's really a great thing to do.
