Study on adrenal vein sampling for primary aldosteronism
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at a test called adrenal venous sampling to help figure out the type of primary aldosteronism you have. The results could guide your doctor in deciding the best treatment, including whether surgery might help.
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 glands make too much aldosterone hormone).
- You are scheduled for adrenal venous sampling to determine the subtype of your condition.
- You have not had a serious health event like a stroke, heart attack, or heart failure in the last 3 months.
- Your kidney function is good (estimated GFR of 45 or higher and serum creatinine of 176 or lower).
- You are willing to consider surgery (adrenalectomy) if needed.
- You do not have a known allergy to contrast dye, and you are not pregnant or nursing.

This study is for people with primary aldosteronism (a cause of hard-to-treat high blood pressure). It uses a special test called adrenal venous sampling to find out which adrenal gland is making too much aldosterone, which helps guide treatment.
This study tests if a new procedure (blocking tiny adrenal arteries) works as well as a standard pill (spironolactone) for lowering high blood pressure caused by too much aldosterone from both adrenal glands. It is designed for people whose high blood pressure is due to idiopathic hyperaldosteronism.
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 tests whether using one small tube (catheter) in a vein in the arm is as effective as using two tubes to collect blood from the adrenal glands to help diagnose high blood pressure caused by hormone issues.
This trial tests if measuring a specific steroid can help find which patients with primary aldosteronism (a condition where the adrenal glands make too much of the hormone aldosterone) might be cured by surgery. You would undergo imaging and blood tests from the adrenal veins to see if the problem is in one gland.
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.
