Join host Chase Hendrickson, MD, from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, in a discussion about a recent article in Journal of the Endocrine Society assessing plasma renin in the management of individuals with primary adrenal insufficiency. He talks with Jill Wagoner, MD, from the University of Nebraska and guest expert Irina Bancos, MD, from Mayo Clinic. The article featured this month, by Piazzola et al, was published in the November 2024 issue of JES: “Plasma Renin: A Useful Marker for Mineralocorticoid Adjustment in Patients With Primary Adrenal Insufficiency.”
