Hyperaldosteronism

Hyperaldosteronism is a condition where the adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone, a hormone that helps control blood pressure and balance electrolytes like sodium and potassium. This excess aldosterone can lead to high blood pressure, low potassium levels, and increased risk of heart problems and other health issues. There are two main types: primary, often caused by a benign tumor, and secondary, which results from other health conditions. Treatment may involve medications, lifestyle changes, or surgery, depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition.
