[Primary hyperaldosteronism--4 clinical cases].

We describe four cases of primary hyperaldosteronism whose initial presentation was a moderate hypertension. Serum potassium and plasmatic aldosterone values were high although plasmatic renin levels were normal. The captopril test (Lyons version), abdominal CT and iodocholesterol (NP-59) scan proved useful to exclude essential hypertension. A good therapeutical results was achieved in all cases by unilateral adrenalectomy. After surgery, diagnosis was confirmed in all cases by histological studies. At one year follow-up, all patients were asymptomatic, with no hypertension without therapeutic and the serum potassium and plasmatic aldosterone and renin values were normal.
