Adrenal surgery helps blood pressure in hormone disorder, but many still need meds

This study looked at 43 patients who had one adrenal gland removed to treat primary hyperaldosteronism, a condition where a hormone imbalance causes high blood pressure. Researchers checked blood pressure and medication use 1 month, 1 year, and many years after surgery. They found that some patients were cured (no meds, normal BP), some improved (fewer meds or better control), and some saw no change. The goal was to understand long-term results and what factors predict success.
