A neonate with idiopathic hyperaldosteronism
Pediatric Nephrology, 1991A boy with functional abnormalities of the gastro-intestinal tract, hyponatraemia, hypokalaemia and hypertension is described. All symptoms developed within the first 2 months of life. Increased aldosterone levels were associated with suppressed values in the renin-angiotensin system.

THE DIAGNOSIS OF PRIMARY HYPERALDOSTERONISM
The Lancet, 1981An aldosterone-suppression test based on a simple method of extracellular-fluid volume expansion over three days reliably discriminated between patients with aldosterone-producing adenomas, idiopathic adrenal hyperplasia, and essential benign hypertension.

Primary hyperaldosteronism in pregnancy
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1986A case is reported of a primigravid woman presenting in midgestation with severe hypertension caused by primary hyperaldosteronism. Symptomatic treatment with an aldosterone blocker, a peripheral vasodilator, and a combined alpha beta-blocker allowed pregnancy to continue to 36 weeks' gestation.

Resistant hypertension and hyperaldosteronism
Current Hypertension Reports, 2008Resistant hypertension is defined as blood pressure that remains uncontrolled in spite of >or= 3 antihypertensive medications at effective doses, ideally including a diuretic. Although exact prevalence is unknown, clinical trials suggest that 20% to 30% of study participants are resistant.

Primary Hyperaldosteronism in Pregnancy
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine, 1982We report a case of primary hyperaldosteronism in a 37-year-old woman presenting early in pregnancy with hypertension and hypokalaemia. Plasma renin concentration was suppressed and unaffected by sodium restriction or upright posture at 16 and 35 weeks gestation, or seven days post-partum.

Surgery for Primary Hyperaldosteronism
Urologic Clinics of North America, 1989The most common underlying disorder in primary aldosteronism is a benign unilateral adenoma. Some cases, termed idiopathic, are secondary to bilateral adrenal hyperplasia, and a few are caused by adrenocortical carcinoma. The therapeutic alternatives are pharmacologic management with an aldosterone antagonist and surgical adrenalectomy.

The Pituitary and Idiopathic Hyperaldosteronism
New England Journal of Medicine, 1984IN the past, when the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism was suspected in patients who presented with hypertension, hypokalemia, and increased urinary aldosterone production, bilateral adrenocortical hyperplastic tissue was frequently found at surgery and removed without correction of high blood pressure.
