Primary aldosteronism and hypertensive disease.
Recent studies in hypertensive populations that have used the serum aldosterone (SA) to plasma renin activity (PRA) ratio as a screening test have demonstrated a high prevalence of primary aldosteronism (PA). This frequency is higher than that previously described when hypokalemia was used as a screening tool. However, other factors, such as the characteristics of hypertensive disease, could al...
متن کاملEstablishment of reference values for endocrine tests. III: Primary aldosteronism.
BACKGROUND In our laboratory well-defined reference values for the screening test and confirmation test used in the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism were lacking. In this study we established the reference-values of the plasma aldosterone concentration (PA), plasma renin activity (PRA) and PA/PRA ratio after a two-hour upright period, and of the urinary aldosterone excretion after oral sodium...

متن کاملShould all Hypertensive Patients be Screened for Primary Aldosteronism?
Primary Aldosteronism (PA) is defined as non-suppressible hyper secretion of aldosterone by adrenal glands, with consequent suppression of plasma renin activity. It was described by Jerome Conn in 1955 [1]. It is said to be an under diagnosed and important secondary endocrine cause of hypertension, and is one of the few potentially curable causes of hypertension using both medical and surgical ...
