Abstract:
Objective To confirm the most effectively screening conditions by comparing the ARR values of different posi‐tions after saline load test .Methods After exclusion the other secondary hypertension ,the completion of saline dressing test ,84 ca‐ses diagnosed hypertensive patients under saline load test results were divided into primary aldosteronism group (pH ,52 cases) and primary hypertension group (32 cases) .Analyzed plasma aldosterone (PAC) ,renin (PRA) values of upright and decumbent body positions ,their ARR values were calculated and the urine aldosterone was tested .Results Those whose upright position ARR rati‐os higher than 240(pg/mL)/(ng · mL -1 · h-1 ) were accounted for 80 .77% (42/52) and 43 .75% (14/32) ,respectively in the both PA group and PH group;Those whose upright position ARR ratios higher than 240(pg/mL)/(ng · mL -1 · h-1 ) and decumbent position PAC higher than 150 pg/mL were accounted for 65 .39% (34/52) and 3 .13% (1/32) ,respectively in the both PA group and ph group;The specificity of this method for PA was 96 .88% .Those whose upright position ARR ratios higher than 240(pg/mL)/(ng · mL -1 · h-1 ) and decumbent position PAC higher than 150 pg/mL and urine aldosterone higher than 10 μg/24 h ,The specificity of this method for PA was 100 .00% .Conclusion It is an effective screening method for primary aldosteronism when ARR values of upright position higher than 240(pg/mL)/(ng · mL -1 · h-1 ) ,PAC of decumbent position higher than 150 pg/mL and urine aldosterone higher than 10 μg/24 h .
