A comparative study of postadrenalectomy hyperuricemia and renal impairment in patients with unilateral primary aldosteronism: does histopathology subtype matter?
For PA patients with PAHU and/or renal impairment, we suggest monitoring SUA, pH, urine uric acid, and urine crystals and performing a KUB study and peripheral vascular and renal sonography (on which pure uric acid stones in the KUB are radiolucent) to determine whether drug intervention is required for cases of asymptomatic PAHU, especially patients in male gender, classical histopathology, or renal impairment.
