Primary Aldosteronism Due to a Sub Centimeter Unilateral Adrenal Adenoma: A Case Report

Abstract

Primary hyperaldosteronism is a cause of at least 10% of hypertension in patients with diagnosis of essential hypertension. The screening and diagnosis of the disease are critical, because patients with the disease have much more cardiovascular and renal complications than patients with essential hypertension. We are presenting the patient with a diagnosis of resistant hypertension for a long time. We thought about primary hyperaldosteronism and proved it and treated it accordingly. The diagnostic algorithm of the disease is described.
