Primary aldosteronism
MONDO:0001422An endocrine disorder characterized by excessive production of aldosterone by the adrenal glands. Causes include adrenal gland adenoma and adrenal gland hyperplasia. The overproduction of aldosterone results in sodium and water retention and hypokalemia. Patients present with high blood pressure, muscle weakness, and headache.
Also known as: Conn syndrome, Conn's syndrome, primary aldosteronism, primary hyperaldosteronism

Can a pill quiet the adrenal Glands' hormone overdrive?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis trial asks whether baxdrostat, a daily pill that blocks an enzyme involved in aldosterone production, can reduce the overactive hormone-making spots in the adrenal glands of people with primary aldosteronism. Researchers will use specialized PET-CT scans to measure changes i…

Alcohol injection into adrenal tumors may offer surgery-free blood pressure control
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study tests a procedure that uses a thin needle guided by an endoscope to inject alcohol into a benign adrenal tumor that produces too much aldosterone, a hormone that raises blood pressure. The goal is to destroy the tumor without surgery. The trial enrolls 30 adults with l…

New drug SAL0140 aims to tame Hormone-Driven high blood pressure
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis phase 2 trial tests a new drug called SAL0140 in 50 adults with primary aldosteronism, a condition where the adrenal glands make too much aldosterone, causing high blood pressure. Participants will receive either SAL0140 or a placebo for 12 weeks to see if it safely lowers b…

Could a month of hydrocortisone protect kidneys after adrenal surgery?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study looks at whether giving hydrocortisone for one month after adrenal gland removal can slow kidney function decline in patients with primary aldosteronism and chronic kidney disease. About 90 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either hydrocortisone or standard c…

Radioactive tracer scan could replace invasive test for Hormone-Driven high blood pressure
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingResearchers compare two ways to find which adrenal gland overproduces aldosterone in people with primary aldosteronism. One method uses a metomidate PET-CT scan with a radioactive tracer; the other uses adrenal vein sampling, an invasive catheter procedure. The trial measures how…

Blood test may end need for risky vein sampling in adrenal hypertension
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether measuring certain hormones in a blood sample can accurately identify which patients with primary aldosteronism (a common cause of high blood pressure) have a curable adrenal tumor. Currently, diagnosis often requires an invasive procedure called adrenal v…

Could a common heart drug stop high blood pressure before it starts?
Prevention Not yet recruitingThis trial tests whether eplerenone, a drug that blocks the hormone aldosterone, can prevent the onset of high blood pressure in people aged 30–55 who have a mild, early form of primary aldosteronism but normal blood pressure. Participants will receive either eplerenone or a plac…
