Hipertensión arterial persistente y fracaso renal agudo tras suprarrenalectomía por adenoma

Primary hyperaldosteronism is a result of excessive aldosterone secretion due to overactivity of the adrenal cortex, usually due to a solitary adenoma. A clinical case is presented of a patient with Conn syndrome who had persistent very high blood pressure levels despite surgical and intensive pharmacologic treatment. There are several clinical features that can be used as predictors of the response to the surgical and medical treatment.
