Hyperaldosteronism in these patients can usually be controlled by a selective aldosterone blocker such as spironolactone, starting with 50 mg orally once a day and increasing over 1 to 3 months to a maintenance dose, usually around 50 to 100 mg once a day; or by amiloride 5 to 10 mg orally once a day or another potassium-sparing diuretic.
