Study of primary aldosteronism in people with high blood pressure
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies people with high blood pressure caused by a hormone problem called primary aldosteronism. If you qualify, the study may help doctors learn better ways to identify and manage this specific cause of blood pressure elevation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have high blood pressure (hypertension).
- You already completed a screening test called ARR and any follow-up hormone tests.
- You are willing to sign the study consent form.
- You do not have severe heart, liver, or kidney problems.
- Your high blood pressure is not from other known causes (like Cushing’s syndrome, a hormone tumor called pheochromocytoma, or narrowed kidney arteries).

This trial tests whether a simple steroid-based test can help identify a specific type of high blood pressure called primary aldosteronism. If you have high blood pressure that needs medication, this study may help find a treatable cause.
This trial tests whether a more intensive approach to lowering blood pressure is better than standard treatment for people with primary aldosteronism (a condition where the adrenal glands make too much aldosterone, leading to high blood pressure). It aims to find which strategy reduces the risk of heart problems more effectively.
This trial looks at whether adding spironolactone to your current blood pressure medicines works better for people with primary aldosteronism (a condition where your adrenal glands make too much aldosterone, raising blood pressure). You may qualify if you have this form of high blood pressure but have declined surgery or don't have an adenoma.
This study looks at the genes and molecules in people with primary aldosteronism (a condition where the adrenal glands make too much of the hormone aldosterone), primary hypertension (high blood pressure), and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand these conditions and find better ways to diagnose and treat them.
This study examines how different methods of measuring hormone levels in the blood help identify primary aldosteronism (a condition causing high blood pressure). Researchers want to find the best cutoff values to identify patients who might benefit from surgery to remove part of the adrenal gland.
This study looks at better ways to diagnose primary aldosteronism when lab results suggest the condition but standard diagnosis criteria haven’t been met. It may help you understand what your hormone pattern means and whether you need specific treatment.
