Quantitative Value of Aldosterone‐Renin Ratio for Detection of Aldosterone‐Producing Adenoma: The Aldosterone‐Renin Ratio for Primary Aldosteronism (AQUARR) Study

Quantitative Value of Aldosterone‐Renin Ratio for Detection of Aldosterone‐Producing Adenoma: The Aldosterone‐Renin Ratio for Primary Aldosteronism (AQUARR) Study

BackgroundCurrent guidelines recommend use of the aldosterone‐renin ratio (ARR) for the case detection of primary aldosteronism followed by confirmatory tests to exclude false‐positive results from further diagnostic workup. We investigated the hypothesis that this could be unnecessary in patients w...
