• Cushingoid

  In fact, therapy to normalize laboratory values may unnecessarily increase the risk of cushingoid side effects (20). The type I mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, eplerenone and spironolactone, are effective treatment alternatives. [doi.org]

  Multipoint linkage analysis of markers on the long arm of chromosome 8, excluding this region, which contains the CYP11B2 gene. The distances refer to genetic distance. [dx.doi.org]

  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]

  GENETICS The genes for aldosterone synthase and 11 b -hydroxylase are located in close proximity on the long arm of chromosome 8 and have identical intron-exon structures. [doi.org]

• Fear

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]
