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.

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 trial studies whether blocking part of the adrenal blood supply (“adrenal artery ablation”) along with spironolactone can improve hormone-driven high blood pressure caused by primary aldosteronism. It may help people who have confirmed adrenal overactivity and do not want surgery.
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.
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.
