Studying hormones and genes in adrenal gland conditions
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have either primary aldosteronism, primary hypertension (high blood pressure), or you are a healthy volunteer of the same age and sex.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have complete medical records available.

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 trial studies people with high blood pressure caused by a hormone problem called primary aldosteronism. If you qualify, the study may help doctors learn better ways to identify and manage this specific cause of blood pressure elevation.
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.
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 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.
