Primary Conn Syndrome and Secondary Conn Syndrome, Primary Aldosteronism

Primary Aldosteronism (Conn’s Syndrome) is a condition where the adrenal glands produce excess aldosterone, leading to high blood pressure (hypertension) and low potassium levels (hypokalemia). It can be caused by: Adrenal adenomas (tumors producing aldosterone). Bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (overactive adrenal glands). Rare genetic disorders. Primary vs. Secondary Conn Syndrome Primary Conn Syndrome (Primary Aldosteronism) occurs due to intrinsic adrenal gland dysfunction. Secondary Conn Syndrome (Secondary Aldosteronism) results from external factors stimulating excess aldosterone production, such as: Renal artery stenosis (narrowing of kidney arteries). Heart failure. Liver disease. Diagnosis & Treatment Blood tests measure aldosterone and renin levels. Imaging (CT, MRI) helps locate adrenal tumors. Treatment depends on the cause: Surgery for adrenal tumors. Medications (aldosterone antagonists like spironolactone). Lifestyle changes to manage blood pressure. #ConnSyndrome
