Testing methods to diagnose variable primary aldosteronism
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have signs that suggest primary aldosteronism, but you have not yet met official diagnosis criteria
- Or you already have a diagnosis, but past aldosterone blood results were too low to qualify for confirmatory testing
- Or your aldosterone levels have changed over time, suggesting hormone production may be variable
- You must be willing and able to give consent and take part in study visits/tests
- You must be able to stop beta-blocker medicines (β-adrenoceptor antagonists) for 2 weeks if you take them

This trial looks for better ways to diagnose primary aldosteronism (PA), a common cause of high blood pressure that can be treated. It may help find people whose hypertension is caused by this condition so they can get the right treatment sooner.
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 follows people with primary aldosteronism over time to understand their health outcomes. It may help doctors learn how to better treat this condition.
This study tests if a 2-day version of the oral salt loading test works as well as the standard 3-day test to diagnose primary aldosteronism (a common cause of high blood pressure). If effective, it could make diagnosis faster and easier for patients.
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.
This study is developing a better blood test to diagnose primary aldosteronism, a condition where the adrenal glands produce too much of a hormone called aldosterone, causing high blood pressure. Researchers are comparing results from healthy volunteers and patients suspected of having this condition to find the right cutoff numbers for the new test.
