Diagnostic Accuracy of Computed Tomography in Predicting Primary Aldosteronism Subtype According to Age

Background: Guidelines by the Endocrine Society Guideline on bypassing adrenal vein sampling (AVS) in patients P15.9 ng/dL) and unilateral lesion, accuracy of CT was 84.6% (11/13) in patients aged 29.6 ng/dL, respectively. The significant difference in accuracy of CT in 198 patients with marked PA and a unilateral lesion between the P=0.044) disappeared in 139 of 198 patients with PAC > 30.0 ng/dL (91.9% vs. 87.7%, P=0.590).Conclusion: Patients with hypokalemia, PAC >30.0 ng/dL, and unilateral lesion were at high risk of unilateral PA regardless of age.
