Patient's question:
Recently, I went back to my hometown and unexpectedly met a high school classmate there. However, I noticed that he looked very upset, so I asked what had happened again. Under my questioning, he said he had been diagnosed with hyperaldosteronism and didn't know what to do. So, I'd like to understand how hyperaldosteronism is treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for hyperaldosteronism, we need to determine whether it is primary or secondary. If it is primary, we use spironolactone tablets. If it is secondary, we need to actively address the underlying condition. Generally, the secondary condition is primarily treated with surgery. After the surgery removes the source, the continuous increase in aldosterone will also improve. The main focus is on a comprehensive and thorough examination.
