A case with primary hyperaldosteronism associated with chronic kidney disease.

Primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) is one of the most common causes of secondary hypertension. PA may be associated with a decline in renal function. About 20% of cases with resistant HTN eventually cause PA, so all these patients should be evaluated for PA.

SEVERE HYPOKALEMIA INDUCED RHABDOMYOLYSIS BY PRIMARY HYPERALDOSTERONISM COEXISTENT WITH RECURRENT BILATERAL RENAL CALCULI.

Primary Hyperaldosteronism is one of the causes of secondary hypertension. Primary Hyperaldosteronism is characterised by an increase in the production of aldosterone and the inhibition of the secretion of renin. We described here a case with rhabdomyolysis and severe hypokalemia as a cause of primary hyperaldosteronism.
