[Primary hyperaldosteronism]. [PDF]
Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2003 Primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA), autonomic secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal gland, is rare. PHA usually results in therapy-resistant hypertension and is often but not always accompanied by hypokalaemia. Common causes of PHA are an aldosterone-producing adenoma, idiopathic aldosterone hypersecretion, unilateral hyperplasia or a genetic variant ...

Primary Hyperaldosteronism As A Risk Factor For Recurrent Nephrolithiasis
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2012 Primary hyperaldosteronism typically presents as hypertension, hypokalemia, and metabolic alkalosis. Several previous reports note an association between primary hyperaldosteronism and nephrolithiasis with secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Der Internist, 2021 Aldosterone is produced in the adrenal cortex and governs volume and electrolyte homeostasis. Hyperaldosteronism can occur either as primary aldosteronism (renin-independent) or secondary aldosteronism (renin-dependent). As the commonest cause of secondary hypertension, primary aldosteronism is associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
