Summary

This study tests a new steroid-based blood test to see if it can more accurately diagnose primary aldosteronism—a common, treatable cause of high blood pressure—in people who are already taking blood pressure medications. Current tests often require patients to temporarily stop or switch their medications, which can be risky or inconvenient. About 406 adults with high blood pressure will have their blood tested twice: once while staying on their usual meds and again after a medication adjustment, to compare the new test's accuracy against the standard method.
