Abstract
|
|
|
Primary aldosteronism, characterized by hypertension, hypokalemia, and hyperaldosteronemia resulting from chronic oversecretion of aldosterone independent of normal renin-angiotensin regulatory system, is due mostly to aldosteronoma or to bilateral cortical nodular hyperplasia.
We report two cases of primary aldosteronism due to adrenal cortical adenoma, which were diagnosed by clinical data and abdominal computed tomographic scan. Clinical symptoms and laboratory data returned to normal after surgical adrenalectomy.
