Adrenal insufficiency after adrenal surgery in aldosteronism patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with primary aldosteronism (a condition where your adrenal gland makes too much aldosterone) or autonomous cortisol secretion (where your body makes too much cortisol on its own).
- You have already had surgery to remove one adrenal gland (unilateral adrenalectomy).
- You are willing to take part in the study and give your informed consent.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 tests a procedure that blocks tiny arteries in the adrenal gland to treat high blood pressure and low potassium caused by aldosteronism. It may be an option if you cannot take medications or cannot have surgery.
This study looks at adrenal nodules found on a CT scan and checks whether your cortisol levels stay high after a medication test. It may help researchers understand what causes abnormal cortisol production and how often it happens in people with adrenal growths.
