Entry term(s) síndrome de aparente exceso de mineralocorticoides
Scope note: Enfermedad hereditaria caracterizada por HIPERTENSIÓN de comienzo en la niñez, alcalosis hipopotasémica y disminución de la secreción de RENINA y ALDOSTERONA. Se produce a consecuencia de un defecto de la actividad de la enzima 11-BETA-HIDROXIESTEROIDE DESHIDROGENASA TIPO 2, que da lugar a una inadecuada conversión del CORTISOL en CORTISONA. La acumulación de cortisol no procesado en concentraciones que estimulan a los RECEPTORES DE MINERALOCORTICOIDES crea la apariencia de tener un exceso de MINERALOCORTICOIDES.Enfermedad hereditaria caracterizada por HIPERTENSION de aparición en la infancia, alcalosis hipopotasémica, y baja secreción de RENINA y ALDOSTERONA.

Scope note: A hereditary disease characterized by childhood onset HYPERTENSION, hypokalemic alkalosis, and low RENIN and ALDOSTERONE secretion. It results from a defect in the activity of the 11-BETA-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASE TYPE 2 enzyme which results in inadequate conversion of CORTISOL to CORTISONE. The build up of unprocessed cortisol to levels that stimulate MINERALOCORTICOID RECEPTORS creates the appearance of having excessive MINERALOCORTICOIDS.
