Primary aldosteronism

Excess production of aldosterone in the adrenal gland

Primary aldosteronism (PA), also known as primary hyperaldosteronism, refers to the excess production of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal glands, resulting in low renin levels and high blood pressure. This abnormality is a paraneoplastic syndrome. About 35% of the cases are caused by a single aldosterone-secreting adenoma, a condition known as Conn's syndrome.
