Case Report
Pregnancy Complicated by Primary Aldosteronism
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Pregnancy is rarely complicated by aldosteronism. We report the case of a 32- year-old woman who became pregnant soon after primary aldosteronism was diagnosed. Only antihypertensive medication and oral potassium supplementation were required in addition to routine prenatal care. A healthy female infant was delivered at term. In this case, no adrenal adenoma was identified. We discuss management of aldosteronism in pregnancy and review die literature.This content is limited to qualifying members.
