Primary aldosteronism is a clinical syndrome referring to increased and inappropriate production of aldosterone from adrenal gland due to a solitery adenoma, bilateral hyperplasia or an adrenal carcinoma and this syndrome is characterized by hypertension, hyporeninemia, and hypokalemia and its manifestations.
