Abstract

The regulation of mineralocorticoid secretion and the pathophysiology of primary aldosteronism are reviewed. For conceptual and practical purposes, the diagnostic evaluation of primary aldosteronism is discussed as two series of studies. The first series involves the studies necessary to confirm the diagnosis. The second series of studies guides the therapeutic approach by distinguishing unilateral from bilateral adrenal disease.
