Overview
Classification
Aldosteronism and mineralocorticoid excess may be classified into two types, primary hyperaldosteronism (conn's syndrome) and secondary hyperaldosteronism. Below table discusses the different types of aldosteronism.
Differentiating Diagnosis
Hyperaldosteronism should be differentiated from other diseases causing hypertension and hypokalemia for example:[1]
- Renal artery stenosis
- Cushing's syndrome
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH)
- Liddle's syndrome
- Diuretic use
- Licorice ingestion
- Renin-secreting tumors
