44) investigated the effect of B2R gene C-58T genotypes on BMI in patients with hypertensive primary
aldosteronism and found that BMI measurements in individuals with the T/T genotype were lower than those with the T/C or C/C genotypes.
Laboratory challenges in primary
aldosteronism screening and diagnosis.
Care should be taken in cases where the hypersecretion of aldosterone to the cardiovascular system is observed, as in many patients, especially geriatric ones, hypertension, hypokalemia, and azotemia or evidence of cardiovascular changes are misattributed to chronic kidney failure or heart failure as primary disorders rather than the direct effect of primary
aldosteronism (DJAJADININGRAT-LAANEN et al.
Adrenal causes of hypertension: pheochromocytoma and primary
aldosteronism.
The aetiological profile remains the same as in the adult population, where 90% of cases are due to primary hypertension and the remaining 10% are secondary to renal parenchymal and renovascular disease, primary
aldosteronism, medications such as oral contraceptives, cocaine or amphetamines, and rare causes such as coarctation of the aorta.
Primary
aldosteronism (PA) is a secondary cause of hypertension that is often missed due to inadequate clinical evaluation and the lack of classically described laboratory abnormalities.

Aldosteronism," Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, vol.
APCCs are distinct from aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs), which cause primary
aldosteronism (PA), in the following aspects [1, 2]: (i) APCCs are approximately 0.
Reverse remodeling and recovery from cachexia in rats with
aldosteronism," The American Journal of Physiology--Heart and Circulatory Physiology, vol.
First described by Conn in 1955, primary
aldosteronism is defined as a group of disorders in which aldosterone production is inappropriately elevated, relatively independent from the renin-angiotensin system, and nonsuppressible by sodium loading.
A prospective study of the prevalence of primary
aldosteronism in 1,125 hypertensive patients.
Among these secondary conditions is primary
aldosteronism, overproduction of the hormone aldosterone by the adrenal glands, resulting in imbalances of sodium and potassium.
