Introduction: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a clinical syndrome characterized by hypertension, suppressed plasma renin activity (PRA), elevated plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC), and spontaneous hypokalemia.
Case Presentation: We present a 37-year-old normotensive female with hypokalemia, high plasma aldosterone level, and suppressed renin. The patient was treated with eplerenone and potassium chloride supplement.

July 2021
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of recombinant erythropoietin on hospitalised COVID-19 patients.
Trial Design: Concealed, randomized, single-blinded, phase 2 controlled clinical trial with two arm parallel-group design of 20 patients allocated with 1:1 ratio and using the placebo in the control group.
Participants: This study will be performed at Shahid Mohammadi Hospital in Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan in Iran.
Objectives: Severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus may cause lung failure and the need for mechanical ventilation. Infection with SARS-COV-2 can lead to activation of inflammatory factors, increased reactive oxygen species, and cell damage. In addition to mucolytic effects, N-Acetylcysteine has antioxidant effects that we believe can help patients recover.
