About

This study employs a prospective, single-center, open, observational research design to evaluate postoperative adrenal cortical function in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) and to explore indicators predicting postoperative adrenal insufficiency and their predictive efficacy

Full description

Patients suspected of having primary aldosteronism and admitted for treatment, who are diagnosed with primary aldosteronism through at least one confirmatory test, and subsequently diagnosed with unilateral primary aldosteronism via bilateral adrenal vein sampling and ACTH stimulation test, will undergo surgery. Those who have an ACTH stimulation test within one week postoperatively will be included in the study.
