  Fatigue, and muscle weakness are reported. Complications due to hypertension, chronic increase of aldosterone secretion accompanied with sodium retention and hypokalemia (found in approximately 25% of patients) may occur. [orpha.net]

  Those symptoms can include: fatigue. headache. high levels of calcium in the blood. high blood pressure. numbness and muscle weakness. periods of paralysis that come and go. Often, high blood pressure is the only noticeable symptom. [thesurgerygroup.com]

  The hypokalemia (low potassium level) can cause symptoms like fatigue, numbness, increased urination, increased thirst, muscle cramps, and muscle weakness. [columbiasurgery.org]

• Hunting

  Much work has been done by the Brisbane group in the hunt for the gene(s) responsible for FH-II: linkage studies have excluded linkage with the AT1, CYP11B2, and MEN1 as well as candidates within the 7p22 locus, such as RBaK, PMS2, and GNA12 ( 25 ). [academic.oup.com]

• Headache

  It can be accompanied with polydipsia, polyuria, nausea, vomiting and headaches. Marked bilateral adrenal hyperplasia has been described. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

  Patients with profound hypokalemia report fatigue, muscle weakness, cramping, headaches, and palpitations. They can also have polydipsia and polyuria from hypokalemia -induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. [wikidoc.org]

  Those symptoms can include: fatigue. headache. high levels of calcium in the blood. high blood pressure. numbness and muscle weakness. periods of paralysis that come and go. Often, high blood pressure is the only noticeable symptom. [thesurgerygroup.com]

  The hypertension may cause headaches, blurred vision, and dizziness. While patients with hyperaldosteronism may have normal potassium levels, many patients may have low potassium levels. [columbiasurgery.org]

[…] 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 In severe cases treated with bilateral adrenalectomy, life-long glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid replacement therapy is required. In mild cases, prognosis is good with medical treatment. Last updated: 6/25/2014 [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Covers new developments in epidemiology, pathophysiology, immunology, clinical findings, laboratory testing, invasive and non-invasive testing, risk stratification, clinical decision-making, prognosis, and management. [books.google.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]

In mild cases, prognosis is good with medical treatment.Visit the Orphanet disease page for more resources. [malacards.org]

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]
