Primary aldosteronism |
Low renin, low aldosterone |
– Congenital adrenal hyperplasia: 17alpha-hydroxylase or 11beta‑hydroxylase deficit – Apparent mineralocorticoid excess (11beta‑HSD2 deficit), genetic or acquired (eg, black licorice) – DOC-secreting adrenal tumor – Liddle syndrome – Exogenous mineralocorticoid (eg, fludrocortisone) – Cushing syndrome – Primary cortisol resistance |
High renin, high aldosterone |
– Renal artery stenosis – Malignant hypertension – Coarctation of the aorta – Renin-secreting tumors (reninoma) – High doses of diuretics – Ectopic nonrenal renin-producing tumors |
