Clinical Trial: Is the Evolution of the Aldosterone-renin Ratio Pre- Versus Post-operative on Day 1 Following Unilateral Adrenalectomy for Primary Hyperaldosteronism Predictive of Blood Pressure Outcomes

U.S., Aug. 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07110155) titled 'Is the Evolution of the Aldosterone-renin Ratio Pre- Versus Post-operative on Day 1 Following Unilateral Adrenalectomy for Primary Hyperaldosteronism Predictive of Blood Pressure Outcomes' on July 31.

Brief Summary: Primary hyperaldosteronism results from an excessive and autonomous secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal glands, independent of renin secretion. This condition is defined by an aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) exceeding a certain threshold and considered pathological. It manifests as arterial hypertension potentially associated with hypokalemia due to increased urinary potassium excretion. Excessive and unregulated ald...
