Secondary hypertension due to concomitant aldosterone-producing adenoma and parathyroid adenoma

Abstract

There is a growing body of evidence supporting a bidirectional relationship between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and aldosterone (Aldo). We report a case of secondary hypertension due to concomitant Aldo-producing adenoma (APA) and parathyroid adenoma (PA) requiring both unilateral adrenalectomy and parathyroidectomy.

Keywords: Conn’s syndrome; blood pressure; hyperparathyroidism; hypertension; parathyroid adenoma; primary hyperaldosteronism; secondary hypertension..
