We conducted a retrospective review among 45 subjects with carefully validated diagnoses of primary hyperaldosteronism and 17 subjects wi...
Aldosterone-producing adenoma (aldosteronoma)--the most frequent form of primary hyperaldosteronism (PH)--is considered a specific form of diabetes mellitus (DM). In a previous study we demonstrated insulin resistance in patients with PH. We have therefore undertaken a study to evaluate the incidence of abnormalities of glucose metabolism in patients with PH (36 subjects) compared to control su...
Aldosterone, which plays a key role in maintaining water and electrolyte balance, is produced by zona glomerulosa cells of the adrenal cortex. Autonomous overproduction of aldosterone from zona glomerulosa cells causes primary hyperaldosteronism. Recent clinical studies have highlighted the pathological role of the KCNJ5 potassium channel in primary hyperaldosteronism. Our objective was to dete...
