Long-term Blood Pressure Outcome After Unilateral Adrenalectomy for Primary Hyperaldosteronism

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
To evaluate long-term results of adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism (PA) and to identify prognostic factors associated. Exhaustive retrospective review of all consecutive patients undergoing adrenalectomy for PA between 2002 and 2013 in our department. All patients underwent preoperative: clinical evaluation (age, sex, height, weight, systolic and diastolic BP under treatment, identification of anti-hypertension treatment), biological evaluation (potassium, renin, aldosterone) and radiological evaluation (CT and/or MRI). Blood pressure was assessed postoperatively at 1 month, 1 year, then at the date of the latest news. The patients were classified into three categories: cured (no antihypertensive therapy in postoperative associated with strictly lower blood pressures of 140/90mmHg), improved (decreased number of drugs or number unchanged but with better blood pressure control), and refractory (no change in the number of drug and blood pressure, or deterioration of one or other of these two parameters).

Arms and Interventions

| Intervention/Treatment |
| --- |
|Other: adrenalectomy for primary addosteronism|All of the clinical and biological data were retrospectively compiled from the patient computerized record. The variables analyzed were: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), PAH discovery circumstances, pre- and postoperative systolic and diastolic blood pressure assessments, number of pre-hypertensive antihypertensive drug - and postoperatively, the laterality, the size and nature of the lesions, the operating time, the surgical technique used. The biological data evaluated were pre- and postoperative plasma and plasma creatinine, preoperative serum aldosterone concentrations, plasma renin activity, and preoperative aldosterone / renin ratio. Hypokalemia was defined as serum concentration below 3.5 mmol / L.|
