Article information

El hiperaldosteronismo primario es una de las formas potencialmente curables de hipertensión arterial (HTA). Solía ser considerado un trastorno poco común, pero algunos expertos creen que puede ser la causa de hipertensión entre un 5% y un 14% de los pacientes. En la mayoría de los casos resulta de un tumor benigno de la glándula suprarrenal y se presenta en personas entre los 30 y 50 años de edad. En estos casos la HTA es secundaria a la acción de aldosterona a nivel renal, la cual determina un aumento en la reabsorción de sal y agua, lo que se traduce en un aumento del volumen intravascular y secundariamente en elevación de la presión arterial.

Primary hyperaldosteronism is one of the potentially curable forms of arterial hypertension. It is generally considered an uncommon disorder. However some experts believe that it may be the case of hypertension in 5% to 14% of the patients. In most of the cases, it is caused by a benign tumor of the adrenal gland and occurs between the age of 30 and 50 years. In these cases, the high blood pressure is secondary to the renal action of aldosterone. This causes an increase in salt and water reabsorption which leads to an increase in intravascular volume and secondarily to an increase in blood pressure.
