Abstract:
Primary aldosteronism is a clinical syndrome manifested by hypertension, hypokalemia and hyporeninemia in which autonomous secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal gland increased. Primary aldosteronism caused by aldosterone-producing adenoma is a surgically treatable conditon. For the first case, operation was performed on a 34 year old woman with this condition, under general anesthesia with N2O-O2-Fentanyl. And the other case was 37 year old man Those patients recovered uneventfully.
