Like patients with glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism (GRA, or FH I; 103900), patients with FH III present with childhood hypertension, elevated aldosteronism levels, and high levels of the hybrid steroids 18-oxocortisol and 18-hydroxycortisol. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] patients younger than 20 years or those with a family history of PA or stroke at a young age ( 40 y), or with an onset at a young age (eg, 20 y), genetic testing for glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism is suggested. [19, 22] The first step in the workup [tomwademd.net]

[…] 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]

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]

Etiology FH-III is due to heterozygous missense mutations of the KCNJ5 gene (11q24), encoding the G- protein -activated inward rectifier potassium channel GIRK-4. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

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