Subclinical primary aldosteronism [PDF]
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]
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 (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.

Emerging methods for subtype differentiation in primary aldosteronism. [PDF]
Abstract Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common cause of hypertension. Compared to patients with essential hypertension, untreated PA is associated with a two‐ to fourfold greater risk of cardiovascular disease, renal failure, and death. PA is caused by increased secretion of aldosterone from one adrenal gland in 30% of the patients and both adrenal ...

Screening and Diagnosis of Primary Aldosteronism in Patients Using Renin-Angiotensin System Inhibitors. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study investigated whether patients receiving renin‐angiotensin system inhibitors (RASIs) can undergo reliable screening for primary aldosteronism (PA) without discontinuation of therapy. Consecutive patients with hypertension who underwent PA screening at our hospital between 2016 and 2024 while on RASIs were recruited.

Mutation in Aldosterone Producing Adenoma [PDF]
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
