AI is associated with reduced levels of cortisol, aldosterone, or both hormones. A deficiency in androgens may also exist. In primary disease, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels from the pituitary gland can be elevated in an attempt to stimulate the adrenal cortex to synthesize more hormone.

Primary hyperaldosteronism is indicated by an elevated aldosterone value at 08.00 together with a suppressed plasma renin activity which shows little or no increase after 30 mins mobility. To aid the distinction between hyperaldosteronism due to adrenal adenoma and that due to bilateral adrenal hyperplasia, it is helpful to consider the plasma ...

A mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist should also be used with caution in patients with a higher baseline potassium (e.g., > 4.2mEq/L), elevated serum creatinine (e.g., > 1.6 mg/dl), or receiving ACEIs7, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, or other medications that may increase the risk for hyperkalemia (e.g., cyclosporine, tacrolimus ...
