Abstract:
Objective To assess the effectiveness of the urinary potassium to serum potassium ratio and urinary potassium to(serum potassium)2 ratio in the screening for primary aldosteronism(PA)from the patients with hypertension.Methods We analyzed all the 55 patients with PA,50 patients with essential hypertension(EH)matched with age and body mass index(BMI).We compared the urinary potassium to serum potassium ratio(UPP)and urinary potassium to(serum potassium)2 ratio(UPPP)with the serum aldosterone-to-renin ratio(ARR)between PA and EH groups.Results(1)UPP,UPPP and ARR in PA group were higher than in EH group(P
