Vegas, NV, USA. Abstract Primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) is the most common secondary, non-iatrogenic cause of hypertension. This condition is associated with significant risk of morbidity and mortality, yet it is often unrecognized and undiagnosed in the primary care setting. Screening with the aldosterone to renin ratio (ARR) should be considered in patients with resistant hypertension, defined as blood pressure >140/90 mmHg despite the use of three different classes of antihypertensive medications, including a diuretic. The goal of this review is to inform the primary care clinician of the current guideline recommendations for screening, confirming, subtyping, and treating primary hyperaldosteronism. Introduction hypertension is frequently recognized and treated Hypertension affects up to 75 million adults in America, in the primary care setting, secondary hypertension with an estimated cost of $46 billion in annual health is often overlooked and remains untreated. The care utilization, prescription medications, and missed most common cause of secondary hypertension work days (11).

BMC Endocrine Disorders (2020) 20:9 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12902-020-0490-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Clinical characterization of patients with primary aldosteronism plus subclinical Cushing’s syndrome Shigemitsu Yasuda1* , Yusuke Hikima1, Yusuke Kabeya2, Shinichiro Iida1, Yoichi Oikawa1, Masashi Isshiki1, Ikuo Inoue1, Akira Shimada1 and Mitsuhiko Noda1,3 Abstract Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) plus subclinical Cushing’s syndrome (SCS), PASCS, has occasionally been reported. We aimed to clinically characterize patients with PASCS who are poorly profiled. Methods: A population-based, retrospective, single-center, observational study was conducted in 71 patients (age, 58.2 ± 11.2 years; 24 males and 47 females) who developed PA (n = 45), SCS (n = 12), or PASCS (n = 14). The main outcome measures were the proportion of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), serum potassium concentration, and maximum tumor diameter (MTD) on the computed tomography (CT) scans. Results: The proportion of DM patients was significantly greater in the PASCS group than in the PA group (50.0% vs. 13.9%, p < 0.05), without a significant difference between the PASCS and SCS groups. Serum potassium concentration was significantly lower in the PASCS group than in the SCS group (3.2 ± 0.8 mEq/L vs. 4.0 ± 0.5 mEq/L; p < 0.01), without a significant difference between the PASCS and PA groups. Among the 3 study groups of patients who had a unilateral adrenal tumor, MTD was significantly greater in the PASCS group than in the PA group (2.7 ± 0.1 cm vs. 1.4 ± 0.1 cm; p < 0.001), without a significant difference between the PASCS and SCS groups.

  • Endocrine Hypertension: a Practical Approach
    Adv Exp Med Biol - Advances in Internal Medicine DOI 10.1007/5584_2016_26 # Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 Endocrine Hypertension: A Practical Approach Joseph M. Pappachan and Harit N. Buch Abstract Elevated blood pressure resulting from few endocrine disorders (endo- crine hypertension) accounts for a high proportion of cases of secondary hypertension. Although some features may be suggestive, many cases of endocrine hypertension remain silent until worked up for the disease. A majority of cases result from primary aldosteronism. Other conditions that can cause endocrine hypertension are: congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Liddle syndrome, pheochromocytomas, Cushing’s syndrome, acromeg- aly, thyroid diseases, primary hyperparathyroidism and iatrogenic hor- mone manipulation. Early identification and treatment of the cause of endocrine hypertension may help to reduce morbidity and mortality related to these disorders. This article gives a comprehensive and practical approach to the diagnosis and management of endocrine hypertension.
