Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2008The field of primary aldosteronism (PA) and aldosterone-related hypertension has undergone rapid evolution. From a relatively rare curiosity PA has become a common problem particularly in selected hypertensive populations. Patients with PA and aldosterone-related hypertension appear to be at higher cardiovascular and renal risk than comparable patients

Primary aldosteronism and salt
Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2014For many years, primary aldosteronism was thought (and taught) to be a relatively rare (< 1 %) and benign form of high blood pressure: now we know that neither is the case. Currently, the prevalence is considered to be 5-10 % of hypertensives, on the basis of more or less stringent cutoffs for the aldosterone/renin ratio and plasma aldosterone ...
