Abstract
Acute cadmium exposure has been shown to increase sodium reabsorption in kidney through increase in aldosterone secretion in human and rodents. However, the antinatriuresis is not completely explained by hyperaldosteronism. Moreover, it is still controversial that the increase in plasma aldosterone concentration is mediated by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system(RAAS).(omitted)
