AI Article Synopsis
- The aldosterone renin ratio (ARR) is essential for deciding whether adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is necessary in diagnosing primary hyperaldosteronism.
- The case emphasizes the importance of interpreting plasma renin and aldosterone levels within context rather than relying solely on imaging.
- Relying only on imaging without conducting AVS can lead to unnecessary surgeries, such as adrenalectomy on the wrong side or even an unnecessary surgery altogether.
Article Abstract
In cases of primary hyperaldosteronism, the aldosterone renin ratio (ARR) is crucial for determining the need for adrenal vein sampling (AVS). Our case highlights the importance of utilizing ARR with AVS, contextual interpretation of plasma renin and aldosterone levels, and stresses that sole reliance on imaging without AVS may result in unnecessary or contralateral adrenalectomy.
