Genetics of Primary Aldosteronism

open access: yesHYPERTENSION, 2022
Primary aldosteronism is considered the commonest cause of secondary hypertension. In affected individuals, aldosterone is produced in an at least partially autonomous fashion in adrenal lesions (adenomas, [micro]nodules or diffuse hyperplasia). Over the

Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Aldosteronism in 2017: Did We Achieve Our Goals? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
For many decades primary aldosteronism (PA) was dismissed as a rare endocrine condition, but is nowadays widely accepted as the most frequent endocrine cause of hypertension, largely due to the widespread use of the aldosterone-to-renin ratio as a ...

Primary Aldosteronism: Where Are We Now? Where to From Here?

open access: yesHYPERTENSION, 2022
Primary aldosteronism, the most common secondary form of hypertension, is thought to be present in ≈5% to 10% of hypertensive adults. However, recent studies indicate that its prevalence may be at least 3-fold higher based on the identification of renin ...
