Adrenal vein sampling for primary aldosteronism
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at a test called adrenal venous sampling, which helps doctors find out which adrenal gland is causing your high blood pressure. Taking part may help doctors decide if surgery could fix the problem.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with primary aldosteronism, a condition where the adrenal glands make too much aldosterone, leading to high blood pressure and low potassium.
- You are willing to consider having surgery to remove the affected adrenal gland.
- You have not had a stroke, heart attack, heart failure, severe heart valve disease, liver cirrhosis, or advanced cancer in the last 3 months.
- Your kidneys are working well enough (not severely reduced kidney function).
- You are not allergic to the dye (contrast) used in imaging tests, and you are not pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant.

This study tests if a new procedure (blocking tiny adrenal arteries) works as well as a standard pill (spironolactone) for lowering high blood pressure caused by too much aldosterone from both adrenal glands. It is designed for people whose high blood pressure is due to idiopathic hyperaldosteronism.
This study looks at a test called adrenal venous sampling to help figure out the type of primary aldosteronism you have. The results could guide your doctor in deciding the best treatment, including whether surgery might help.
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 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.
This trial compares different ways of doing adrenal vein sampling (a test to find which adrenal gland is causing high blood pressure). It aims to see if combining methods works better than using just one for people with primary aldosteronism.
This study compares two ways of doing a test called adrenal vein sampling, which helps doctors find the cause of high blood pressure caused by a hormone problem. The test is done through a vein in the arm, and the study looks at whether using one catheter or two is better. If you have high blood pressure and are being checked for primary aldosteronism, this trial might help improve how the test is done.
