Occurrence of Metabolic Disorders in Bilateral Primary Aldosteronism Compared to Unilateral Primary Aldosteronism
Bilateral PA presents a greater incidence of MetS than unilateral PA, in spite of the latter showing a higher aldosterone-renin ratio and lower serum potassium levels. The results suggest that the mechanisms underlying MetS may differ between unilateral and bilateral PA.
