[…] aldosterone-producing adenoma Aldosterone-producing adenoma is responsible for 30%–50% of cases of PA. 23 Indeed, its prevalence in PA might have been underestimated because of failure to systematically perform adrenal vein sampling in the diagnostic workup [dovepress.com]

TREATMENT Non-directed anti-hypertensive therapies are often ineffective in GRA patients (9). [doi.org]

Treatment with the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists spironolactone and epleronone is also efficacious. The diagnosis of GRA facilitates directed therapies and screening of at-risk individuals and kindreds. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis With treatment prognosis is good. The cardiovascular morbidity of FH-II patients is increased compared to patients with essential hypertension. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

Prognosis Prognosis is good in treated patients with primary hyperaldosteronism. However, patients may continue to be hypertensive and require lifelong antihypertensive therapy. Risk factors for long-term hypertension include older age at diagnosis. [patient.info]

However, with appropriate treatment, this disease is treatable and has an excellent prognosis. Patients with difficult to control or long-standing hypertension should be screened for primary hyperaldosteronism. [columbiasurgery.org]

The PA/PRA ratio in GRA patients is greater than 30, but this is like other etiologies of primary aldosteronism. [doi.org]

A lesser common etiology is a renin secreting adenoma from the kidney (McCance et al., 2010). [wikilectures.eu]

Etiology FH-I is due to an unequal crossing over on the long arm of chromosome 8 between the CYP11B2 gene (coding for cytochrome P450 aldosterone synthase), normally expressed in the zona glomerulosa (ZG), and the CYP11B1 gene (coding for the 11 beta-hydroxylase [orpha.net]
