ClC‐2 Contributes to Hypotonicity‐Induced Adrenal Aldosterone Secretion

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The zona glomerulosa (ZG) of the adrenal cortex regulates blood pressure and electrolyte homeostasis through aldosterone production. In ZG cells, potassium and angiotensin II (Ang II) trigger calcium oscillations that drive aldosterone synthesis.

Primary Hyperaldosteronism: When to Suspect It and How to Confirm Its Diagnosis

open access: yesEndocrines, 2022
The definition of primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) has shifted, as progress has been made in understanding the disease. PA can be produced by unilateral or bilateral cortical adrenal hyperproduction of aldosterone, due to hyperplasia, aldosterone ...

Negative impact of β-arrestin-1 on post-myocardial infarction heart failure via cardiac and adrenal-dependent neurohormonal mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
β-Arrestin (βarr)-1 and β-arrestin-2 (βarrs) are universal G-protein-coupled receptor adapter proteins that negatively regulate cardiac β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) function via βAR desensitization and downregulation.

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.

Consensus hyperaldostéronisme primaire SFE/SFHTA/AFCE, groupe 6: Chirurgie surrénale [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
International audienceTreatment of primary aldosteronism (PA) aims at preventing or correcting hypertension, hypokalemia and target organ damage. Patients with lateralized PA and candidates for surgery may be managed by laparoscopic adrenalectomy ...

Emerging methods for subtype differentiation in primary aldosteronism

open access: yesJournal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 2, Page 178-195, February 2026.
Abstract Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common cause of hypertension. Compared to patients with essential hypertension, untreated PA is associated with a two‐ to fourfold greater risk of cardiovascular disease, renal failure, and death. PA is caused by increased secretion of aldosterone from one adrenal gland in 30% of the patients and both adrenal ...

A case report of hyponatremia after surgery for Conn's adenoma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Primary aldosteronism (PA), also known as Conn's syndrome, is a frequent cause of secondary hypertension. If PA is due to a documented unilateral adrenal adenoma, adrenalectomy is the treatment of choice.

Mass Spectrometric Measurements of 11‐Deoxycortisol, Androstenedione and Dehydroepiandrosterone Are Superior to Cortisol to Assess Selectivity of Non‐Stimulated Adrenal Vein Sampling

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, Volume 104, Issue 1, Page 10-18, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Successful adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is traditionally assessed using the ratio of cortisol in adrenal to peripheral venous plasma to calculate the selectivity index. With mass spectrometry other steroids can be simultaneously measured that may improve numbers of apparent successful sampling procedures.

Secondary hypertension as a cause of treatment resistance

open access: yesBlood Pressure, 2023
In secondary hypertension, elevated blood pressure is caused by a known and/or potentially treatable underlying disease. Although the prevalence of secondary hypertension depends on the patient population and the thoroughness of applied diagnostic ...

A rare case of unilateral adrenal hyperplasia accompanied by hypokalaemic periodic paralysis caused by a novel dominant mutation in CACNA1S: features and prognosis after adrenalectomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Acute hypokalaemic paralysis is characterised by acute flaccid muscle weakness and has a complex aetiological spectrum. Herein we report, for the first time, a case of unilateral adrenal hyperplasia accompanied by hypokalaemic periodic ...
