Biochem/physiol Actions

Fludrocortisone acetate is a synthetic corticosteroid with more mineralocorticoid than glucocorticoid activity.

General description

Fludrocortisone acetate is secreted by adrenal cortex. It increases the reabsorption of sodium and secretion of potassium and hydrogen. Fludrocortisone is used to treat cerebral salt wasting syndrome and adrenal insufficiency. Fludrocortisone improves the sensitivity of blood vessels to catecholamines and increases the blood volume.

Potassium depletion induced by dietary potassium restriction causes sodium retention while potassium supplementation augments urinary sodium excretion. The role of external potassium balance in modulating mineralocorticoid-induced sodium retention in humans is unknown. Accordingly, eight healthy subjects were studied at the
