Familial hyperaldosteronism [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000 Aldosterone, the major circulating mineralocorticoid, participates in blood volume and serum potassium homeostasis. Primary aldosteronism is a disorder characterised by hypertension and hypokalaemia due to autonomous aldosterone secretion from the ...

Diagnostic Challenges of Adrenal Venous Sampling for Primary Hyperaldosteronism in a Patient With Subclinical Cushing's Syndrome: A Case Report. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Hypertension is a significant comorbidity in the New World, and its prevalence is rising. Around 5%–10% of cases with hypertension have secondary hypertension. Adrenal gland disease is among the common causes of secondary hypertension. We present a 57‐year‐old male with uncontrolled hypertension and a history of intracranial hemorrhage.

Acid-sensing ion channel 1a deficiency drives endocrine hypertension in male mice. [PDF]
J PhysiolAbstract figure legend Acid‐sensing ion channel 1a deficiency drives endocrine hypertension in aged male mice. Global deletion of ASIC1a (Asic1a−/−) in adult male mice (6 months old) elevates corticosterone, leading to hypokalaemia, volume expansion, increased pulse pressure and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.

Outcome-Based Decision-Making Algorithm for Treating Patients with Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2022 Background Optimal management of primary aldosteronism (PA) is crucial due to the increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is the gold standard method for determining subtype but is technically ...

Primary hyperaldosteronism [PDF]
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2003 Primary hyperaldosteronism is an important cause of hypertension. Its true prevalence is still a matter of debate, since about 10% of hypertensives may have underlying hyperaldosteronism. Primary hyperaldosteronism is due to aldosterone-secreting tumours, bilateral adrenal hyperplasia or, rarely, adrenal carcinoma or genetic causes.
