Description
Primary aldosteronism(PA)is known as a secondary hypertension. Hypertensive patients are screened by the plasma aldosterone concentration(PAC)/plasma renin activity(PRA)ratio as a case-detection test for PA. However, clinical parameters for screening patients with primary aldosteronism who need adrenalectomy have not been fully elucidated. We report a case of PA who received endoscopic adrenalectomy and evaluated the clinical parameters for screening patients with primary aldosteronism who need adrenalectomy, retrospectively. We evaluated43patients with PAC/PRA>200as a screening test for PA. Thirty-three(77%) patients were diagnoses as PA after confirmation test. In18patients who received adrenal vein sampling, 10 patients were diagnoses as unilateral adrenal adenoma. We compared clinical parameters between PA and non-PA. The level of PAC was lower in patients with PA compared to that in patients with non-PA. There were no significant change in the level of PAC, PAC/PRA, serum potassium, and blood pressure. PAC and PAC/PRA were higher and serum potassium was lower in patients who received adrenalectomy compared to those in patients without adrenalectomy. ROC curve showed that PAC>200 pg/mL and serum potassium <3.5mEq/L were useful parameters to predict diagnosis of PA who need adrenalectomy. In conclusion, PA patients with PAC>200pg/mL and serum potassium <3.5mEq/L should be considered as candidates for adrenorectomy.
