⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

In this case report, we discussed a patient who was on a routine follow up in our clinic for resistant hypertension and diagnosed as primary hyperaldosteronism by imaging methods right after the presence of hypokalemia.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Classically it is known that 95% of patients with hypertension the etiology are unknown (primary hypertension), in 5% remaining patients, hypertension develops secondary to another disease.
📊
Key Findings & Data:It is also a classic knowledge that, the most common cause of secondary hypertension is primary hyperaldosteronism and this disease contains 1-2% of hypertensive population.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:In this case report, we discussed a patient who was on a routine follow up in our clinic for resistant hypertension and diagnosed as primary hyperaldosteronism by imaging methods right after the presence of hypokalemia.

Abstract

Classically it is known that 95% of patients with hypertension the etiology are unknown (primary hypertension), in 5% remaining patients, hypertension develops secondary to another disease. It is also a classic knowledge that, the most common cause of secondary hypertension is primary hyperaldosteronism and this disease contains 1-2% of hypertensive population. However, recent researches have shown that primary hyperaldosteronism more frequent than formerly thought and it could consist of 5-10% of all hypertensive patients. Also primary hyperaldosteronism is one of the most important reasons of hypertension which can be cured by surgery. At out-patient clinics, careful evaluation and exact diagnosis of curable hypertensive reasons may increase the hypertensive treatment success. In this case report, we discussed a patient who was on a routine follow up in our clinic for resistant hypertension and diagnosed as primary hyperaldosteronism by imaging methods right after the presence of hypokalemia.

Özet

Klasik olarak hipertansiyonu olan hastaların % 95'inde etiyolojinin bilinmediği (primer hipertansiyon), geriye kalan % 5 hastada ise hipertansiyonun başka bir hastalığa sonucu geliştiği bilinmektedir. Benzer şekilde, sekonder hipertansiyonun en sık nedeninin primer hiperaldosteronizm olduğu ve bu hastalığın tüm hipertansiyonluların yaklaşık % 1-2'lik bir kısmını kapsadığı da klasik bilgi olarak tanımlanabilir. Ancak son yıllardaki çalışmalar primer hiperaldosteronizmin düşünüldüğünden çok daha sık rastlandığını ve tüm hipertansiflerin % 5-10'unu oluşturabileceğini göstermiştir. Primer hiperaldosteronizm'in cerrahi olarak düzeltilebilen en önemli hipertansiyon nedenlerinden biri olması bu hastalığın diğer bir önemli özelliğidir. Tam düzelme şansı bulunan hipertansiyon nedenlerinin poliklinik şartlarında dikkatli bir şekilde araştırılması ve tanı konulması uygulanan antihipertansif tedavinin başarısını arttırabilir. Bu yazıda polikliniğimizde tedaviye dirençli hipertansiyon nedeniyle izlenen, rutin biyokimyasal tetkiklerinde hipokalemi saptanıp hemen görüntüleme yöntemleri kullanılarak primer hiperaldosteronizm tanısı konulan bir olgu tartışılmıştır.
