Primary aldosteronism treatment response was associated with higher plasma renin activity and serum potassium levels and lower aldosterone.

There were weaker positive correlations between plasma aldosterone and insulin or triglycerides. When the aldosterone-renin ratio was the dependent variable and the correlation controlled for serum ...

Recent studies have highlighted the challenges of managing potassium levels in patients with CKD, particularly those receiving renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi), which are ...
