Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is now recognised to account for 510% of all cases of hypertension (and 2025% of refractory hypertension). For patients with a demonstrable unilateral cause, adrenalectomy offers the potential for cure of PA, although resolution of hypertension occurs in only ~50% of patients. We have examined histological appearances and radiological features in patients with APAs undergoing adrenalectomy in an attempt to further our understa...

Background: Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) remains the gold-standard for distinguishing unilateral and bilateral disease in primary aldosteronism (PA). However, it is invasive, technically demanding, and may yield inconclusive or equivocal results. 11C-Metomidate PET-CT (11C-MTO-PET-CT) is a non-invasive alternative to AVS for localising unilateral aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs).Methods/patients: We report a retrospective analys...
