Study on Postoperative Adrenal Function Assessment in Patients With Primary Aldosteronism

Patients suspected of having primary aldosteronism and admitted for treatment, who are diagnosed with primary aldosteronism through at least one confirmatory test, and subsequently diagnosed with unilateral primary aldosteronism via bilateral adrenal vein sampling and ACTH stimulation test, will undergo surgery. Those who have an ACTH stimulation test within one week postoperatively will be included in the study.

This study employs a prospective, single-center, open, observational research design to evaluate postoperative adrenal cortical function in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) and to explore indicators predicting postoperative adrenal insufficiency and their predictive efficacy

Inclusion criteria

• Patients diagnosed with unilateral primary aldosteronism who undergo surgical treatment and have their cortical function assessed by an ACTH stimulation test within one week postoperatively.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients using medications that affect adrenal cortical function.
• Patients with a history of adrenal surgery
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
• Patients with severe underlying diseases (such as liver or kidney failure) that may affect adrenal cortical function
