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

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 ...

PREGNANCY AND PRIMARY ALDOSTERONISM
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1967ABSTRACT 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.

GENETICS OF PRIMARY ALDOSTERONISM
Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 1994SUMMARY1. In 1991 we described a familial variety of primary hyperaldosteronism which was not glucocorticoid‐suppressible and was associated with adenoma formation, and called it familial hyperaldosteronism type II (FH‐II) in order to distinguish it from the glucocorticoid‐suppressible variety described in 1966, familial hyperaldosteronism type I (FH‐I)

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 ...

Regulation of Aldosterone Secretion in Primary Aldosteronism
Hormone and Metabolic Research, 1975Plasma aldosterone, plasma renin activity and plasma cortisol were determined in patients with primary aldosteronism in response to posture and at short-time intervals overnight while the patient were supine. In the 5 patients with an aldosterone-producing adenoma postural changes in plasma aldosterone were paralleled by those in cortisol while plasma ...

The regulation of aldosterone secretion in primary aldosteronism
The American Journal of Medicine, 1972Abstract Twenty patients with primary aldosteronism were studied under various conditions known to influence aldosterone secretion. All patients presented with the classic findings of hypertension, hypokalemia, suppressed plasma renin activity and nonsuppressible aldosterone secretion.

Primary aldosteronism in pregnancy
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1984La survenue d'une grossesse avec un hyperaldosteronisme primaire a ete exploree exploree dans un tres petit nombre de cas. Tandis que la grossesse est connue pour etre associee avec une activation du systeme renine-angiotensine, les interactions de ces modifications avec l'exces d'aldosterone autonome de l'hyperaldosteronisme primaire ne sont pas ...

Pathology of primary aldosteronism
Cancer, 1966The pathology of adrenal tumors removed from 18 patients with primary aldosteronism is presented and discussed. The tumors tend to be small, often weighing less than 6 Gm. Almost all are benign. Females are affected more frequently than males. In either sex they occur most commonly between the ages of 31 and 50.

Primary aldosteronism: an update
Expert Review of Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010Primary aldosteronism (PA) is common with an estimated prevalence rate of 10% in subjects with essential hypertension and higher in those with resistant hypertension. As well as contributing to hypertension, aldosterone has detrimental effects on the heart, vasculature and kidneys as well as adverse metabolic effects leading to an excess of ...
