Minireview: primary aldosteronism--changing concepts in diagnosis and treatment.
Primary aldosteronism affects 5-13% of patients with hypertension. Patients with hypertension and hypokalemia and most patients with treatment-resistant hypertension should undergo screening for primary aldosteronism with a plasma aldosterone concentration to plasma renin activity ratio. A high plasma aldosterone concentration to plasma renin activity ratio is a positive screening test result, ...
متن کاملUse of NP-59 (131I-iodocholesterol) Scan as a Potential Alternative to Adrenal Venous Sampling in the Investigation of Primary Aldosteronism: a 5-Year Retrospective Study
Objectives: To evaluate the usefulness of NP-59 (131I-iodocholesterol) scan as a non-invasive alternative to adrenal venous sampling in the diagnosis of Conn’s syndrome and lateralisation of aldosterone production. Methods: The electronic patient records of 39 consecutive patients who were referred for NP-59 scan in our centre between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2012 were reviewed. The resul...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of the post-captopril test in primary aldosteronism.
Primary aldosteronism is a disorder with hypertension, hypokalemia, increased plasma aldosterone, and suppressed renin activity. A random plasma aldosterone/renin activity (PA/PRA) >65 (conventional units ratio [CUR] >30) has been proposed as a screening test. We have retrospectively determined the value of the post-captopril plasma aldosterone/renin activity (CAPT PA/PRA) test for the diagnosi...
متن کاملA case with primary aldosteronism due to unilateral multiple adrenocortical micronodules.
A 46-year-old male with long-term treatment-resistant hypertension and past history of cerebral hemorrhage was found to have suppressed plasma renin activity (PRA) and normal plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) with aldosterone/renin ratio of 25.3. Furosemide plus upright test did not stimulate PRA, but computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed no abnormal lesions in either adrenal gl...
متن کاملNew Advances in the Diagnostic Workup of Primary Aldosteronism
Primary aldosteronism is an important and common cause of hypertension that carries a high burden of morbidity. Outcomes, however, are excellent if diagnosed and treated appropriately. The diagnostic workup for primary aldosteronism is complex and comprises three steps: (1) screening, (2) confirmatory testing, and (3) subtype differentiation. In this review, we discuss recent advances in the di...
