Subclinical primary aldosteronism [PDF]

Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a major contributor to hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Subclinical PA, a preclinical or early manifestation of PA, has been identified in individuals with normal blood pressure and in those with mild hypertension ...

Occurrence of Metabolic Disorders in Bilateral Primary Aldosteronism Compared to Unilateral Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]

Diseases
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a common comorbidity associated with hypertension that occurs more often in primary aldosteronism (PA). Our work aims to investigate the prevalence of MetS and its determinants in unilateral PA and bilateral PA ...

Primary aldosteronism [PDF]

Gland Surgery, 2020
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common cause of secondary hypertension caused by excessive and inappropriate secretion of the hormone aldosterone from one or both adrenal glands. The prevalence of PA ranges from 10% in the general hypertensive population to 20% in resistant hypertension, yet only a small fraction of patients is diagnosed.

Mutation in Aldosterone Producing Adenoma [PDF]

Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2017
Discoveries of somatic mutations permit the recognition of subtypes of aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) with distinct clinical presentations and pathological features. Catenin β1 (CTNNB1) mutation in APAs has been recently described and discussed in

Markers of Kidney Tubular Function Deteriorate While Those of Kidney Tubule Health Improve in Primary Aldosteronism After Targeted Treatments

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Targeted treatment with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) or adrenalectomy in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) causes a decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate; however, the associated simultaneous changes in ...

Benefits of Surgical Over Medical Treatment for Unilateral Primary Aldosteronism

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Primary aldosteronism is the most common and modifiable form of secondary hypertension. Left untreated, primary aldosteronism leads high rates of cardiovascular, metabolic, and kidney disease.

PRIMARY ALDOSTERONISM: CURRENT DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH

Байкальский медицинский журнал, 2022
Primary aldosteronism is characterized by aldosterone secretion that is independent of renin and angiotensin II. The deleterious effects of primary aldosteronism are mediated by excessive activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor that results in the ...

Cortisol Co-Secretion and Clinical Usefulness of ACTH Stimulation Test in Primary Aldosteronism: A Systematic Review and Biases in Epidemiological Studies

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
The hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis plays an important role in primary aldosteronism. Aldosterone biosynthesis is regulated not only by angiotensin II in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, but also by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH ...

Primary aldosteronism

Kidney International, 1984
We retrospectively reviewed the clinical features, methods of diagnosis and localization, and results of treatment in 105 patients with primary aldosteronism seen between 1969 and 1981. Coincident with the use of computed tomography (CT), 131I-6-beta-iodomethyl norcholesterol scans (NP-59), and postural response studies, the study group was temporally ...

Concurrence of overt Cushing’s syndrome and primary aldosteronism accompanied by aldosterone-producing cell cluster in adjacent adrenal cortex: case report

BMC Endocrine Disorders, 2021
Background Various adrenal disorders including primary aldosteronism and Cushing’s syndrome lead to the cause of hypertension. Although primary aldosteronism is sometimes complicated with preclinical Cushing’s syndrome, concurrence of overt Cushing’s ...
