Application

Spironolactone was added to rat diet to study the effect of long-term spironolactone use on renal function.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Spironolactone reduces aldosterone-induced potassium/magnesium loss and myocardial fibrosis. It reduces hypertension, improves the endothelial function and reduces the overall morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic heart failure. Spironolactone improves nitric oxide bioactivity and vascular endothelial vasodilator dysfunction.
Spironolactone is a competitive aldosterone receptor antagonist. Used as potassium sparing diuretic.

Chronic transplant dysfunction (CTD) is the leading cause of long-term renal allograft loss and is characterized by specific histological lesions including transplant vasculopathy, interstitial fibrosis, and focal glomerulosclerosis. Increasing evidence indicates that aldosterone is a direct mediator of renal damage
