Steroid therapy after adrenal surgery for kidney health
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a steroid (hydrocortisone) after adrenal gland surgery helps protect kidney function in people with primary aldosteronism and chronic kidney disease. It could slow down further kidney damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have primary aldosteronism (a condition where the adrenal glands make too much aldosterone hormone).
- Your doctor has confirmed the diagnosis with special tests.
- Imaging and blood sampling show the problem is on one adrenal gland and you are scheduled for surgery to remove it.
- Your kidney function is moderately reduced (eGFR between 30 and 60) or you have protein in your urine.
- You have not used hydrocortisone in the last 3 months.

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.
This trial compares two ways to treat unilateral primary aldosteronism: taking mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) pills or having minimally invasive surgery. It may help decide which option works best and is safest for people who can choose surgery.
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 compares two ways of giving steroid medicine after surgery to remove one adrenal gland. The goal is to find out which approach better protects patients from a condition where the body doesn't make enough steroid hormones.
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 trial tests whether a treatment called SAAE can improve “ventricular remodeling,” meaning changes in the heart muscle, in people with primary aldosteronism (PA). It may help the heart work more efficiently by targeting the cause of high aldosterone levels.
