Primary Hyperaldosteronism as a Cause of Resistant Hypertension: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In young patients with resistant hypertension and hypokalemia, primary hyperaldosteronism should be suspected. Biochemical assessment and adrenal imaging could identify surgically curable aldosterone‐producing adenomas, and a normalization of blood pressure, potassium levels, and symptom resolution can be achieved through adrenalectomy.

Adrenal computed tomography and NP-59 usefulness for diagnosing aldosterone-producing adenomas and idiopathic hyperaldosteronism in primary hyperaldosteronism

Urological Science, 2016
Objectives: Two major causes of primary aldosteronism are aldosterone-producing adenomas (APA) and idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA). In this study, we attempted to determine the role of NP-59 in identifying APA prior to adrenalectomy, especially when ...

Reduced Renal Extraction of Atrial-Natriuretic-Peptide in Primary Aldosteronism

, 1995
We investigated renal and peripheral forearm extraction of atrial natriuretic peptide in patients with primary aldosteronism to determine whether alterations in extraction may contribute to the elevated levels of circulating atrial natriuretic peptide ...

Long-term outcome success after operative treatment for primary aldosteronism

, 2021
Primary aldosteronism is a common cause of secondary hypertension. Resolution of hypertension and hypokalemia after adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism is variable.

Comparative Genomics and Transcriptome Profiling in Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]

, 2018
Primary aldosteronism is the most common form of endocrine hypertension with a prevalence of 6% in the general population with hypertension. The genetic basis of the four familial forms of primary aldosteronism (familial hyperaldosteronism FH types I-IV)

Primary Aldosteronism in Pregnancy.

Journal of Nippon Medical School, 2000
Aldosteronism is a rare complication of pregnancy. We report a case of a 26-year-old woman who became pregnant soon after a diagnosis of primary aldosteronism due to left adrenal adenoma was made. Only oral potassium supplementation was required in addition to routine prenatal care until 36 weeks' gestation.

Aldosterone-producing adenoma and other surgically correctable forms of primary aldosteronism

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2010
Surgically correctable forms of primary aldosteronism are characterized by unilateral aldosterone hypersecretion and renin suppression, associated with varying degrees of hypertension and hypokalemia. Unilateral aldosterone hypersecretion is caused by an

Primary aldosteronism and metabolic syndrome.

, 2011
Hypertension is frequently associated with interrelated risk factors of metabolic origin, including abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, and alterations in glucose homeostasis, all promoting the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis.

Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency Presenting With Severe Hyponatremia in an Elderly Patient With Primary Aldosteronism Suggesting Underlying Autonomous Cortisol Secretion

Clinical Case Reports
Possible unrecognized cortisol autonomy in primary aldosteronism may suppress the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis. Under physiological stress, this may contribute to secondary adrenal insufficiency and severe hyponatremia.
