Primary hyperaldosteronism is one of the most common causes of secondary hypertension but clear differentiation between its various subtypes can be a clinical challenge. We report the case of a 37-year-old African-American woman with refractory hypertension who was admitted to our hospital for palpitations, shortness of breath and headache. Her laboratory results showed hypokalaemia and an elev...

AIMS Hyperaldosteronism is associated with vascular injury and increased cardiovascular events. Bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play an important role in endothelial repair and vascular homeostasis. We hypothesized that hyperaldosteronism impairs EPC function and vascularization capacity in mice and humans. METHODS AND RESULTS We characterized the effects of aldosteron...

We present the first report of primary hyperaldosteronism in childhood due to unilateral macronodular hyperplasia. A 10-year-old white boy with severe hypertension (150/100 mm Hg), hypokalemia (1.4 mEq/liter), and suppressed plasma renin activity (PRA) (less than 0.1 ng/ml/hr) demonstrated fixed PRA and aldosterone (aldo) levels that did not change with alteration of dietary sodium. The paradox...

Mineralocorticoid hypertension is hypertension associated with the presence of hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, and suppression of plasma renin. Mineralocorticoid hypertension represents only 10% of patients with essential hypertension. However, its recognition is important because it is a potentially reversible cause of hypertension. Primary hyperaldosteronism is the most common form of miner...
