Furthermore, PTH stimulates aldosterone secretion in vitro, and increases angiotensin–II-stimulated aldosterone release. In a patient with hyperaldosteronism and hyperparathyroidism, PTH receptors were detected in aldosteronoma tissue. We present three patients sent to an endocrinologist for treatment/follow-up of primary hyperparathyroidism,...
