Hypokalemia and uncontrolled hypertension

Abstract EN

In a 45-year-old female with chronic uncontrolled hy¬pertension complicated by hypokalemia, laboratory and radiological findings were consistent with an aldosterone producing adenoma (APA).

Diagnosis of Conn’s syndrome was confirmed by histopathology.

The hypokalemia re¬solved and her hypertension improved after laparoscopic adrenalectomy.

Discussion of the case, diagnosis and treat¬ment are presented.
