Clinical manifestation of aldosteronoma.
Surgical Clinics of North America 2004 June
Formerly, fewer than 1% of patients with hypertension were believed to have primary hyperaldosteronism; however, recent studies have suggested a higher prevalence, in 5% to 10% of patients with hypertension. Hypokalemia is not necessary for the diagnosis and is probably a sign of more advanced disease. The best diagnostic test is the plasma aldosterone concentration to plasma renin activity (PAC/PRA) ratio. Excess aldosterone level has a deleterious effect on the cardiovascular system. Aldosteronomas should be differentiated from idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA),because they are curable by laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
