Hi Martin,
I was just diagnosed with hyperaldosteronism. I am 58 y.o. and my doctors have been suspecting that this might be the cause of my very high blood pressure which came out of the blue at age 45 (13 years ago) The big hint was that my K+ levels were also low and I struggle to maintain them even on 40 mEq/day. My aldosterone levels had been okay until about 3 weeks ago, when they went from 10ng/dL (Jan 22) to 19 ng/dL (Sept 22) and my ALDO/PRA ratio went up from 37 to 126.7. To rule out an adrenal tumor, my nephrologist ordered an MRI of my abdomen and the results were normal. So, if you know what else could be causing my hyperaldosteronism I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you. Sue
