Normokalemic primary hyperaldosteronism - A common cause of secondary hypertension
, 1999 Recently, some genetic forms of hypertension have been well characterized. These forms can be globally called mineralocorticoid hypertension and are due to different alterations of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (SRAA).

Primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) is regarded as a rare disease with prevalence rates of 0.5 to 2% within the hypertensive population. Recent studies using more detailed screening procedures in small hypertensive cohorts have suggested that PHA may be more common than previously thought (3-18%).

Diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism
Medicina Clínica (English Edition), 2022Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of secondary arterial hypertension. Moreover, it is associated with a higher cardio-metabolic risk than the observed in patients with essential arterial hypertension (EHT). Therefore, a high index of clinical suspicion for PA is mandatory.

Primary hyperaldosteronism is a challenging diagnosis because of its low incidence and variable pathophysiology. Serum potassium, properly done, is the routine screening test, but is not without its limitations. Confirmation of the diagnosis requires demonstration of abnormally high and nonsuppressible values for aldosterone in plasma and urine and low

To characterize the syndrome of primary aldosteronism and summarize diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.We review the mechanisms of action of aldosterone and outline features that distinguish the major subtypes of aldosteronism.The state of aldosterone excess should be suspected in every patient manifesting hypertension and hypokalemia.

Primary hyperaldosteronism in pregnancy
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1986A case is reported of a primigravid woman presenting in midgestation with severe hypertension caused by primary hyperaldosteronism. Symptomatic treatment with an aldosterone blocker, a peripheral vasodilator, and a combined alpha beta-blocker allowed pregnancy to continue to 36 weeks' gestation.
