  The secondary aldosteronism can arise at heart failure, edematous forms of diseases of kidneys (a nephrotic syndrome, an acute diffusion glomerulonephritis), liver diseases (an infectious disease, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis). [infomeds.net]

  In SA, the high rate of LV hypertrophy, in spite of low peripheral resistances and low-to-normal blood pressure, could be accounted for the high renin and aldosterone values, and the work overload associated with a hyperdynamic circulatory state. © 2016 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Outlook (Prognosis) The outlook for primary hyperaldosteronism is good with early diagnosis and treatment. The outlook for secondary hyperaldosteronism depends on the cause of the condition. [account.allinahealth.org]

The draft problem could be solved by modern method including PCR with the use of several primers focused on different antigens regarding the certain epidemiologic regions. (Fig. 7, Ref. 17.) [sav.sk]
