From: Unravelling a mystery of hypokalemic hypertension- a rare case report of a reninoma
Low renin and high aldosterone- primary aldosteronism | High renin and high aldosterone- secondary aldosteronism | Low renin and low aldosterone- Apparent aldosterone excess |
|---|---|---|
I. Aldosterone-producing adenoma | I. Renovascular hypertension | I. Cushing syndrome |
II. Bilateral adrenal forms of primary aldosteronism | II. Reninoma | II. Apparent mineralocorticoid excess syndrome |
III. Familial forms of primary aldosteronism (including glucocorticoid-remediable hypertension) | III. Obstructive sleep apnoea | III. Liddle syndrome |
IV. Excess consumption of grapefruit or liquorice | ||
