Hyperaldosteronism, also known as Conn syndrome, is the most common cause of secondary hypertension, accounting for 5-13% of cases. It is characterized by hypokalemia in around half of patients with aldosterone-producing adenomas and 17% of patients with bilateral hyperplasia. Diagnosis involves measuring plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone concentration along with confirmation tests such as saline loading, saline infusion, or fludrocortisone suppression. Adrenal vein sampling may be used if surgical treatment is an option to determine if hyperaldosteronism is unilateral or bilateral.
