“…Early infancy, obstructive uropathy, and UTI are three major risk factors for the development of tubular resistance to aldosterone [2][3][4][5][6][7]. The mechanism is poorly understood, but it is speculated that it may be due to aldosterone resistance, secondary to bacterial toxin mediated damage of the aldosterone receptors or due to increased natriuresis caused by various cytokines produced by urinary tract obstruction and endotoxin [2][3][4].…”
