Half of All Patients With Hypertension Should be Screened for Primary Aldosteronism
Patients with resistant hypertension and hypokalemia are likely to have primary aldosteronism, which may be at the root of their condition. Screening rates patients for primary aldosteronism doesn’t appear to be common practice.
