Shorter salt test for primary aldosteronism diagnosis
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with primary aldosteronism (a condition where the adrenal glands make too much aldosterone, causing high blood pressure and low potassium)
- Aged between 20 and 70 years old
- Body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 23.9 kg/m2
- For healthy volunteers: normal blood pressure (90-120/60-80 mmHg), regular periods (if female), no medications in the past month, and no history of hypertension or low potassium

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 study uses a new, precise blood test to help diagnose primary aldosteronism, a condition where the adrenal glands make too much of a hormone that raises blood pressure. It compares results from healthy volunteers and patients with suspected primary aldosteronism to see if it works better than current methods.
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.
This trial tests a new medicine, SAL0140, for people with primary aldosteronism, a condition where the adrenal glands make too much aldosterone, causing high blood pressure. The study aims to see if the drug can lower blood pressure and improve health.
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.
