What is another word for apparent mineralocorticoid excess syndrome?
Pronunciation: [ɐpˈaɹənt mˈɪnəɹˌaləkˌɔːtɪkˌɔ͡ɪd ɛksˈɛs sˈɪndɹə͡ʊm] (IPA) 
Apparent mineralocorticoid excess syndrome (AME) is a rare genetic disorder that causes the body to produce too much aldosterone, a hormone that regulates sodium and potassium levels in the body. The syndrome is also known as pseudohyperaldosteronism type 1 or cortisone reductase deficiency. The excess aldosterone causes sodium retention and potassium loss, leading to hypertension and possible damage to the kidneys and heart. Treatment typically involves a low-sodium diet, potassium supplements, and medications to regulate blood pressure. Because the condition is so rare, many people may not be familiar with the term AME and may use synonyms such as aldosterone excess syndrome or hyperaldosteronism instead.
