WHAT IS PRIMARY HYPERALDOSTERONISM / CONN'S SYNDROME?
It is a type of hormonal disorder which leads to high blood pressure. Normally adrenal glands produce a number of essential hormones. One of them is aldosterone that balances sodium and potassium in blood. Where as in the primary aldosteronism, adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone resulting to lose potassium and retain sodium.
CAUSES
Too much aldosterone production by adrenal glands may be due to
- Non-malignant growth in an adrenal gland (aldosterone-producing adenoma)
- Hyper activity of both adrenal glands (idiopathic hyperaldosteronism)
Rarely, Primary aldosteronism may be caused by:
- A malignant (cancerous) growth of the outer layer (cortex) of the adrenal gland
- A uncommon type of primary aldosteronism called as glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism which runs in families and causes the high blood pressure in children and young adults
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
- Moderate to severe high blood pressure

- High blood pressure with a low potassium level (hypokalemia)
RISK FACTORS
