2023年12月5日 · Primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) is an underdiagnosed cause of hypertension. The classic presentation of PA includes hypertension and hypokalemia. However, in reality, most patients will present without hypokalemia. The two primary causes are aldosterone-producing adenomas and bilateral adrenal hyperplasia of the zona glomerulosa.

2024年7月22日 · What are the signs and symptoms of primary aldosteronism? People with primary aldosteronism usually develop high blood pressure and low potassium levels. Left unchecked, high blood pressure raises your risk for complications, including heart attack and stroke, while low potassium can cause heart rhythm irregularities (arrhythmia).

Primary aldosteronism (PA), also known as primary hyperaldosteronism, refers to the excess production of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal glands, resulting in low renin levels and high blood pressure. [1] This abnormality is a paraneoplastic syndrome (i.e. caused by hyperplasia or tumors).

2024年12月4日 · Nonsuppressible (primary) hypersecretion of aldosterone is an underdiagnosed cause of hypertension. The classic presenting signs of primary aldosteronism are hypertension and hypokalemia, but potassium levels are frequently normal in modern-day series of …

2022年9月12日 · Primary hyperaldosteronism happens when there’s an issue within your adrenal glands that causes them to produce too much aldosterone. Adrenal adenomas (noncancerous tumors) are the most common cause of primary hyperaldosteronism.

Primary aldosteronism is an endocrine problem in which the adrenal glands produce too much of a hormone called aldosterone. This can cause high blood pressure and other symptoms. You have two adrenal glands located just above your kidneys.

2024年7月24日 · Despite carrying an excess risk of cardiovascular events, primary aldosteronism (PA) is a commonly overlooked secondary form of arterial hypertension. An increased awareness of its high prevalence and broader screening strategies are urgently needed to improve its detection rate and allow early diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Primary aldosteronism used to be considered a rare and niche secondary cause of hypertension. However, we have learned that primary aldosteronism is far more common than previously believed. The implications of this increased prevalence are ...

2024年4月3日 · Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common specifically treatable and potentially curable form of hypertension. It accounts for at least 5% of hypertensive patients, with most patients being normokalaemic. Approximately 30% have unilateral forms correctable by unilateral laparoscopic adrenalec...

2023年7月27日 · Primary hyperaldosteronism, sometimes referred to as Conn syndrome, is an excess of aldosterone caused by autonomous overproduction. It is typically due to adrenal hyperplasia (most commonly bilate...
