primary aldosteronism(English)
- the most common form of secondary hypertension. Early detection, surveillance, and treatment may mitigate future cardiovascular risk. The genetics are rapidly evolving, and the consideration for genetic causes are growing. Three inheritable forms are now recognized: familial hyperaldosteronism type I (glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism), familial hyperaldosteronism type II, and familial hyperaldosteronism type III. The recent discovery of familial hyperaldosteornism type III spurred a flurry of international and collaborative research that is identifying more genetic and molecular causes of PA that relate to mutations in membrane electrolyte transport channels of zona glomerulosa cells
