Approach to a normotensive patient with primary aldosteronism / 中华内分泌外科杂志

ABSTRACT

The typical manifestations of primary aldosteronism (PA) are hypertension with or without hypokalemia, high aldosterone, and low renal level. However, PA with normal blood pressure is rare in clinical practice. This article reported the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with subclinical PA, admitted for "adrenal accidental tumor" with normal blood pressure and serum potassium. We summarized and analyzed the clinical characteristics and treatment strategies, in order to provide some reference for clinicians.
