’Malignant’ hypertension from hyperaldosteronism: a case report

open access: yesThe Pan African Medical Journal, 2018
Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC) are rare with an incidence of 0.7-2 per million population per year and account for only 0.05%-2% of all malignant tumors. While majority of the functional ACC present as Cushing syndrome, recurrent hyperaldosteronism from

Inhibition of Galectin-3 Pathway Prevents Isoproterenol-Induced Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Fibrosis in Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is involved in inflammation, fibrogenesis, and cardiac remodeling. Previous evidence shows that Gal-3 interacts with aldosterone in promoting macrophage infiltration and vascular fibrosis and that Gal-3 genetic and ...

Ouabain‐induced hypertension in rats: Mechanisms, variability and translational implications

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ouabain‐induced hypertension is a multifactorial and condition‐dependent phenomenon involving coordinated actions across vascular, renal and central nervous system pathways. At the vascular level, ouabain inhibits Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase, particularly the α2‐isoform, leading to elevated intracellular Ca2⁺, enhanced vasoconstriction and structural ...

A Case of Deoxycorticosterone-Producing Adrenocortical Carcinoma: A Review of Etiologies of Hypertension With Hypokalemia

open access: yesAnnals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Resistant hypertension with hypokalemia can occur in patients with secondary hypertension with a differential diagnosis that includes primary hyperaldosteronism, secondary hyperaldosteronism, and pseudohyperaldosteronism. Herein, we report a rare case of

A Retrospective Study on the Impact of Primary Aldosteronism in Pregnancy (H.A.P.P.I. Study Group)

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, Volume 104, Issue 2, Page 113-122, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common cause of hypertension in young women. However, there is a paucity of data regarding its impact during pregnancy. The primary objective of this study was to describe the occurrence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) in PA.

Clonal Composition of Human Adrenocortical Neoplasms [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The mechanisms of tumorigenesis of adrenocortical neoplasms are still not understood. Tumor formation may be the result of spontaneous transformation of adrenocortical cells by somatic mutations.

Quantitative value of aldosterone-renin ratio for detection of aldosterone-producing adenoma: The Aldosterone-Renin Ratio for Primary Aldosteronism (AQUARR) study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background Current guidelines recommend use of the aldosterone\u2010renin ratio (ARR) for the case detection of primary aldosteronism followed by confirmatory tests to exclude false\u2010positive results from further diagnostic workup.
