    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_aldosteronism

    Primary aldosteronism (PA), also known as primary hyperaldosteronism, refers to the excess production of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal glands, resulting in low renin levels and high blood pressure. [1] This abnormality is a paraneoplastic syndrome (i.e. caused by hyperplasia or tumors).

    Primary aldosteronism (hyporeninemic hyperaldosteronism) is most often caused by bilateral idiopathic (micronodular) adrenal hyperplasia (almost 70% of cases) [4] and adrenal adenoma (Conn's syndrome) (about 30% of cases). [4] These cause hyperplasia of aldosterone-producing cells of the adrenal cortex resulting in primary hyperaldosteronism.

    Pseudohyperaldosteronism (also pseudoaldosteronism) is a medical condition which mimics the effects of elevated aldosterone (hyperaldosteronism) by presenting with high blood pressure, low blood potassium levels (hypokalemia), metabolic alkalosis, and low levels of plasma renin activity (PRA).

  7. Familial hyperaldosteronism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familial_hyperaldosteronism

    Familial hyperaldosteronism is a group of inherited conditions in which the adrenal glands, which are small glands located on top of each kidney, produce too much of the hormone aldosterone. [1] Excess aldosterone causes the kidneys to retain more salt than normal, which in turn increases the body's fluid levels and causes high blood pressure. [1]

    The symptoms related to hyperadrenalism are known as Cushing's syndrome, and are caused by overproduction of corticosteroids, aldosterone, and androgenic steroids.
