| description | Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension, but its incidence during pregnancy is rare and less than 80 cases in pregnancy have been reported in literature to date. Here, we present a pregnant woman who delivered her first child in the presence of PA four years before, but in her second pregnancy, she developed severe hypertension associated with hypokalemia, and was admitted with preeclampsia. She lost her infant and received a diagnosis of PA due to an adrenal adenoma. After adrenalectomy, her blood pressure was normalized. |
