What's new in cellular cation exchange and humoral factors in primary hypertension? 1986

W Zidek

In essential hypertension abnormalities of cellular Na+ and Ca++ handling have been described. The latter disturbance probably offers an explanation for the increased vasoconstriction in essential hypertension. The etiology of those disturbances in cellular Na+ and Ca++ metabolism may be related to genetic disturbances of membrane transport, or to a humoral factor influencing cellular cation metabolism.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006973	Hypertension	Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.	Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D002118	Calcium	A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
