It is now recognized that the APA is just one of the seven subtypes of primary aldosteronism. APA and bilateral idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA) are the most common subtypes of primary aldosteronism. Although most clinicians had thought primary aldosteronism to be a rare form of hypertension for more than three decades, it is now recognized to be the most common form of secondary hypertension. Using the plasma aldosterone to plasma renin activity ratio as a case\u2010finding test, followed by aldosterone suppression confirmatory testing, has resulted in much higher prevalence estimates of 5\u201313% of all patients with hypertension. In addition, there has been a new recognition of the aldosterone\u2010specific cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with aldosterone excess. Although thought to be daunting and complex in the past, the diagnostic approach to primary aldosteronism is straightforward and can be considered in three phases: case\u2010finding tests, confirmatory tests and subtype evaluation tests. Patients with hypertension and hypokalaemia (regardless of presumed cause), treatment\u2010resistant hypertension (three antihypertensive drugs and poor control), severe hypertension (\u2265\u00a0160\u00a0mmHg systolic or\u00a0\u2265\u00a0100\u00a0mmHg diastolic), hypertension and an incidental adrenal mass, onset of hypertension at a young age or patients being evaluated for other forms of secondary hypertension should undergo screening for primary aldosteronism. In patients with suspected primary aldosteronism, screening can be accomplished by measuring a morning (preferably between 0800 and 1000 h) ambulatory paired random plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and plasma renin activity (PRA). An increased PAC:PRA ratio is not diagnostic by itself, and primary aldosteronism must be confirmed by demonstrating inappropriate aldosterone secretion. Aldosterone suppression testing can be performed with orally administered sodium chloride and measurement of urinary aldosterone or with intravenous sodium chloride loading and measurement of PAC. Unilateral adrenalectomy in patients with APA or unilateral adrenal hyperplasia results in normalization of hypokalaemia in all these patients; hypertension is improved in all and is cured in approximately 30\u201360% of them. In bilateral adrenal forms of primary aldosteronism, unilateral or bilateral adrenalectomy seldom corrects the hypertension and they should be treated medically with a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2265.2007.02775.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,13]],"date-time":"2007-02-13T08:39:29Z","timestamp":1171355969000},"page":"607-618","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":563,"title":["Primary aldosteronism: renaissance of a syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"66","author":[{"given":"William F.","family":"Young","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","first-page":"3","article-title":"Presidential address.
