Incidence of Adrenal Masses Eventually Discovered in Patients Screened for Primary Aldosteronism
Among patients screened for PA but without prior or subsequent directed adrenal imaging, 1 in 14 were later found to have an adrenal mass on imaging done for other indications. Given the impact on pretest probability for endocrine hypertension and further investigation steps, routine adrenal imaging might be considered whenever PA suspicion is high.
