Overview

Secondary hyperaldosteronism can be classified based on its causes into several subtypes. High renin causing hyperaldosteronism; genetic causes such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia type 17 alpha hydroxylase deficiency and 11 hydroxylase deficiency; vascular causes such as renal artery stenosis and toxins such as licorice.
