- Conditions
- Primary Aldosteronism

- Brief Summary
The plasma aldosterone concentration 60 min after the load of CCT (CCT60-PAC) <=59.0 pg/mL and CCT60-plasma renin activity (PRA) >=1.05 ng/mL/h could predict negativities of SIT and FUP, respectively, with >95% specificities. The present study suggested the SIT as the next test to be done if the CCT-negative patient belonged to the subset with CCT60-PAC >59.0 pg/mL and CCT60-PRA >=1.05 ng/mL/h, otherwise the FUP should be selected.
