Year: 2019
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a category of secondary hypertension induced by inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system due to increased aldosterone secretion. Aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) is the most common hypotype of PA. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) refers to the symptoms of increased bone resorption and increased calcium reabsorption of kidney tubules caused by parathyroid secretion and excessive synthesis of parathyroid hormone. APA, complicated with PHPT has been extremely rare in clinical practice. In this study, the diagnosis and treatment of one case of APA complicated by PHPT was reported. Relevant literature review was performed.
