Renin dependent hypertension caused by accessory renal arteries

Clinical Hypertension, 2018
Background Hypokalemia in the presence of hypertension is often attributed to primary hyperaldosteronism as a cause of secondary hypertension, however secondary hyperaldosteronism may present similarly.

Secondary hyperaldosteronism leading to resistant hypertension in a patient with adrenal Cushing’s syndrome

Sri Lanka Journal of Diabetes Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2020
Background Cushing’s syndrome (CS) is a rare disorder caused by prolonged hypercortisolism leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Hypertension in Cushing’s syndrome could be caused by multiple mechanism including primary hyperaldosteronism from co-

Rhabdomyolysis as first presentation of the Conn’s syndrome: a clinical case

Arterial Hypertension
Primary hyperaldosteronism is the leading cause of secondary hypertension, often presented with hypokalemia and even rare with its consequences. We describe a case of a 62-year-old man admitted to the emergency department with rhabdomyolysis from severe ...

Lipid Profile in Primary Aldosteronism: Cross‐Sectional and Post‐Treatment Analyses

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relationship between primary aldosteronism (PA) and lipid metabolism remains controversial, with inconsistent findings reported in the literature. This study aimed to clarify PA's impact on the lipid profile using both a cross‐sectional comparison with essential hypertension (EH) controls and a longitudinal within‐patient pre‐post ...

Primary hyperaldosteronism

Journal of Medical and Scientific Research, 2016
Primary aldosteronism is caused by autonomous production of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex (due to hyperplasia, adenoma, or carcinoma). It is the cause of most common secondary form of arterial hypertension. The most common causes (90%) of primary aldosteronism are aldosterone producing adenomas and bilateral adrenal hyperplasia.

Primary hyperaldosteronism: challenges in subtype classification

BMC Research Notes, 2012
Background Primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) is a serious and potentially debilitating disease. Detailed guidelines have been written to guide endocrinologists in establishing the diagnosis of PA as well as in subtype classification of PA. The objective of

Apparent Bilateral Aldosterone Suppression During Adrenal Vein Sampling: An Artefact of the Liaison Chemiluminescence Immunoassay and Other Causes Revealed by Comparisons With Another Commercial Immunoassay and Mass Spectrometry

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Subtyping of primary aldosteronism usually requires adrenal vein sampling (AVS). Interpretation can be compromised by apparent bilateral aldosterone suppression (ABAS), which we hypothesised reflects an artefact of the Liaison immunoassay of aldosterone.

Glucocorticoids and HPA axis regulation in the stress–obesity connection: A comprehensive overview of biological, physiological and behavioural dimensions

Clinical Obesity, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Chronic stress, characterized by increased long‐term exposure to the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol, is increasingly linked to obesity development. Still, various knowledge gaps persist, including on underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The aim of the current review is to provide the latest insights on the connection between stress and ...

Primary Hyperaldosteronism and Renal Medullary Nephrocalcinosis: A Controversial Association

Oman Medical Journal, 2021
Primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) is a common disease with a prevalence of 5–10% in unselected patients with hypertension. Medullary nephrocalcinosis is a radiological diagnosis and refers to diffuse calcification in the renal parenchyma.
