Short summary
This guideline recommends case detection of primary aldosteronism in high-risk hypertensive patients and those with hypokalemia using the aldosterone-renin ratio, confirmed by a secondary test. Initial subtype testing should involve adrenal CT, with bilateral adrenal venous sampling by an experienced radiologist to confirm unilateral disease for surgical consideration.
