Screening for Primary Aldosteronism in a Population of Patients With Hypertension

ARR - Aldosterone-Renin Ratio; i.v. - intravenous; NaCl - sodium chloride;

Percentage - relevant to the number of discovered cases of PA.

Those patients who get the diagnosis of PA after the initial screening and further investigations by the study protocol will be offered specific medical or surgical treatment - depending on the subtype of PA.
In both medically and surgically treated patients the assessment is going to include blood pressure level, usage of MRA and their doses, usage of other antihypertensive medications, their number and doses, frequency of significant side effects of MRA such as gynecomastia, gynecodynia, erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, menstrual disturbances.

Supplementation measured as "still needed" or "not needed".

As plasma aldosterone is measured in pmol/l and plasma Direct Renin Concentration (DRC) in mU/l, ARR is accordingly measured as pmol/mU. The measure of ARR will be evaluated as at the initial ARR screening.

Changes from baseline in pain scores on the Visual Analog Scale at postoperative day one and two, and at 1 year postoperatively.

Number of days. Applies to working study participants.

Proportion of operated patients who have had any surgical complications.

Proportion of cases where converting to open procedure was needed.

Proportion of patients who have underwent AVS and have had any complications.
