https://doi.org/10.14341/probl201056247-52

Abstract

The present review is concerned with the problem of diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism and differential diagnosis of various nosological forms of this disease. Individual diagnostic steps are described along with main functional (verification) tests and instrumental methods used in the studies of this pathology.
