ABSTRACT Background Primary aldosteronism (PA) has been linked with reduced health‐related quality of life (QoL) and increased prevalence of anxiety and depression. While most studies compared patients with PA to healthy subjects, this study focused on comparison with hypertensive patients without PA to identify PA‐specific effects.

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