Primary aldosteronism (PA) represents a secondary form of arterial hypertension that can be cured by surgery. Evidence of adrenal insufficiency (AI) was recently found in patients with PA who had undergone unilateral adrenalectomy (uADX). We suggest performing postoperative ACTH stimulation tests in all patients who undergo unilateral adrenalectomy for PA.
