Aldosterone in Left Ventricular Hypertrophy among African-American Patients with
End-Stage Renal Disease on Hemodialysis, American Journal of Nephrology 2007;
27:159-163.
ABSTRACT: Recently, serum aldosterone levels have been reported to play a
significant role in cardiac hypertrophy. One study of Japanese patients
correlated aldosterone levels with the degree of left ventricular
hypertrophy (LVH) in those undergoing hemodialysis. However, the role
of aldosterone in LVH in non-Japanese patients with end-stage renal
disease (ESRD) has not been established.
