Trial Profile
low-density adenoma, aldosterone-producing adenoma
ALDOSTERONE-PRODUCING ADENOMA
The criteria for bypassing adrenal venous sampling (AVS) were age younger than 35 years and typical characteristics of aldosterone-producing adenoma (plasma aldosterone level >30 ng/dL [to convert to pmol/L, multiply by 27.74], serum potassium level ≤3.5 mEq/L [to convert to mmol/L, multiply by 1.0], and computed tomography indicating unilateral, low-density adenoma with a diameter ≥1 cm). ACTH indicates corticotropin; MRA, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist.
