Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Aldosterone deficiency is caused by (1) various defects of aldosterone biosynthesis in the adrenal gland or (2) hyporeninism. The most important symptoms are hyponatremia and hyperkalemia. These electrolyte disturbances are also found in pseudohypoaldosteronism. Pseudohypoaldosteronism type I is characterized by insensitivity of the distal nephron for aldosterone. Hyperabsorption of chloride in the distal nephron leads to pseudohypoaldosteronism type II, which is linked with hypertension, whereas blood pressure in the other mentioned disorders is decreased. Renal tubular acidosis, mainly type 4, with impaired production of ammonia due to hyperkalemia, is frequently observed in hypoaldosteronism and both types of pseudohypoaldosteronism as well. The therapeutic regimen is different: (1) low doses of fludrocortisone in hypoaldosteronism, (2) potassium restriction, sodium bicarbonate and loop diuretics in type I of pseudohypoaldosteronism, and (3) sodium restriction and chloruretic diuretics (thiazide) in type II of pseudohypoaldosteronism. In some cases hyperkalemia requires the use of potassium-binding resins. © 1984 Springer-Verlag.
