Overview of Altitude Sickness

Most recent studies have shown that Altitude Sickness shares some biological mechanisms with anoxia, brain-edema, brain-hypoxia, cerebral-edema, chronic-mountain-sickness, edema, headache, hemorrhage, high-altitude-cerebral-edema, high-altitude-pulmonary-edema, hypertensive-disease, hypoxia, lung-diseases, mountain-sickness-acute, nervousness, pathologic-vasoconstriction, polycythemia, pulmonary-edema, pulmonary-hypertension, retinal-hemorrhage.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Altitude Sickness, and have been seen in publications frequently: Angiogenesis, Coagulation, Cognition, Diuresis, Excretion, Fibrinolysis, Flight, Glomerular Filtration, Glycolysis, Inflammatory Response, Natriuresis, Oxygen Transport, Pathogenesis, Platelet Aggregation, Reflex, Response To Hypoxia, Secretion, Transport, Vasoconstriction, Vasodilation

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Altitude Sickness, such as ACE, ALB, AVP, CAMP, EDN1, EPO, EPX, FUT2, HIF1A, MCAT, NOS3, REN, REST, SQLE, SSB, TIMP1, VEGFA.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
