Adrenal function after surgery for primary aldosteronism
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how well your adrenal gland works right after surgery for a hormone condition called primary aldosteronism. It uses a simple test to measure your adrenal function, helping doctors understand how your body recovers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with primary aldosteronism (a hormone condition) that affects only one adrenal gland.
- You must be planning to have surgery to remove that adrenal gland.
- You cannot be taking any medicines that affect your adrenal gland's function.
- You cannot have had any previous adrenal gland surgery.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You cannot have a severe underlying disease like liver or kidney failure.

This study looks at how often adrenal insufficiency happens after surgery for primary aldosteronism, especially in patients who also have an overproduction of cortisol. It helps doctors understand if extra hormone support is needed after surgery.
This study looks at how different types of adrenal tumors might affect the heart during and after surgery. It aims to help doctors understand and reduce the risk of heart injury in patients having these tumors removed.
This study compares two treatments for primary aldosteronism (a condition causing high blood pressure due to an adrenal gland issue). One treatment is a minimally invasive procedure called superselective embolization, and the other is keyhole surgery. This trial aims to see which is better and safer for patients.
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 follows people with primary aldosteronism over time to understand their health outcomes. It may help doctors learn how to better treat this condition.
