Response to the article: "primary aldosteronism: are we missing the wood for the trees?".

ABSTRACT

This letter is a short response to Dr Funder's recent commentary on primary aldosteronism under the title "Primary aldosteronism are we missing the wood for the trees?". We briefly discuss recent data from our department on autonomous aldosterone secretion (AAS) and the efficacy of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in a group of patients with AAS, that would otherwise remain undiagnosed.
