Primary aldosteronism

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2009
AbstractPrimary aldosteronism is the most common form of secondary hypertension. Case detection is based on an abnormal plasma aldosterone:plasma renin activity ratio and the diagnosis must be confirmed with an aldosterone suppression test. Subtype differentiation should be performed using adrenal venous sampling.

Primary aldosteronism

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2003
Approaching the fiftieth year since its original description, primary aldosteronism is now thought to be the commonest potentially curable and specifically treatable form of hypertension. Correct identification of patients with primary aldosteronism requires that the effects of time of day, posture, dietary sodium intake, potassium levels and ...

Primary aldosteronism

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2016
In 1955 Dr Jerome Conn first documented primary aldosteronism (PA). Since then, screening, diagnosis and treatment have developed, in the process both refining and complicating management. Currently, screening requires 4-6 weeks of lead-up, including major changes in antihypertensive therapy, followed by a blood draw for plasma aldosterone ...

PRIMARY ALDOSTERONISM

Australasian Annals of Medicine, 1957
SUMMARYA female patient, aged thirty‐one years, suffering from primary aldosteronism due to adrenal adenoma (Conn's syndrome) is described. She presented with hypertension of the order of 240/120 millimetres of mercury associated with weakness, polyuria up to five litres a day, and an electrocardiogram showin;STdepression and prominentUwaves in various

Primary Aldosteronism

Urologic Clinics of North America, 1988
Primary aldosteronism remains a diagnostic challenge. Despite the availability of sensitive and specific immunoassay techniques, the simplification of diagnostic testing, and the introduction of sensitive imaging techniques, there remain uncertainties about the optimal methods of screening, the sensitivity and specificity of various tests, diagnostic ...

Detecting and Treating Primary Aldosteronism

Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology & Diabetes, 2007
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of mineralocorticoid hypertension. Different studies, using the plasma aldosterone concentration to plasma renin activity ratio (PAC/PRA) for the screening of patients with hypertension, have shown a marked increase in the detection rate of PA.

Primary aldosteronism

Current Cardiology Reports, 2007
Primary aldosteronism is one of the few potentially curable forms of hypertension. This article highlights recent advances in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of this relatively common secondary form of hypertension. These topics include the recognition that this disorder is more prevalent than previously assumed, the identification of ...

PREGNANCY AND PRIMARY ALDOSTERONISM

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1967
ABSTRACT A case is reported of a 32-yr-old woman with primary aldosteronism in whom metabolic and blood pressure abnormalities were improved during pregnancy. Aldosterone secretion increased throughout pregnancy, as did the acid-labile conjugate of aldosterone-tetrahydroaldosterone ratio, but no complications occurred.

Evaluation of primary aldosteronism

Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity, 2010
The purpose of this review is to briefly summarize current knowledge on diagnosis and treatment of primary aldosteronism, the most frequent cause of endocrine hypertension.The prevalence of primary aldosteronism increases with the severity of hypertension, from 2% in patients with grade 1 hypertension to 20% among resistant hypertensives. The detection

Genetics of primary aldosteronism

Journal of Hypertension, 2004
Over the last few years, much progress has been made in understanding the genetic basis of primary aldosteronism. This has led to the diagnosis of the familial forms and has aided the understanding of the basis of sporadic forms of the disease. Such information can be exploited to improve the therapeutic approaches used not only for patients with ...
