Primary aldosteronism is a severe form of autonomous aldosteronism. Milder forms of autonomous and reninindependent aldosteronism may be common, even in normotension. We characterized aldosterone secretion in 210 normotensives ...

Primary aldosteronism is an important cause of secondary hypertension and is suspected in adults with an aldosterone/renin ratio ≥25. The normal aldosterone/renin ratio is unknown in children. The aim was to establish serum ...

This study reports the determination of plasma 18-hydroxycortisol (18-OHF) using a new and easy enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method in primary aldosteronism and compares the values found in essential hypertensives ...

Background: Patients with primary aldosteronism experience greater left ventricular hypertrophy and a higher frequency of cardiovascular events than do essential hypertensive patients with comparable blood pressure levels. ...

Context: The aldosterone to renin ratio (ARR) is recommended to screen for primary aldosteronism (PA). Objective: To evaluate whether dietary sodium restriction results in misinterpretation of PA screening. Participants: ...
