Plasma aldosterone concentration was increased at the time of admission (651 pmol\/L), but serum creatinine and potassium concentrations were within the reference range. A second increased aldosterone (879 pmol\/L) and normal plasma renin activity (1.85 ng\/mL\/hr) resulted in an increased aldosterone\/renin ratio, which was suggestive of primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA). To further support the diagnosis of PHA, the urinary aldosterone\/creatinine ratio was calculated both before and after oral administration of fludrocortisone acetate (0.05 mg\/kg\n                    <jats:italic>q<\/jats:italic>\n                    12 hr for 4 consecutive days).

Absence of suppression was typical of PHA. The cat had a limited response to antihypertensive medication and died before treatment for PHA could be instituted.
