Poor Performance of Angiotensin II Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assays in Mostly Hypertensive Cohort Routinely Screened for Primary Aldosteronism

Poor Performance of Angiotensin II Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assays in Mostly Hypertensive Cohort Routinely Screened for Primary Aldosteronism

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common, but broadly underdiagnosed, form of hormonal hypertension. To improve screening procedures, current biochemical approaches aim to determine newly appreciated angiotensin II (Ang II) and calculate the aldosterone-to-angiotensin II ratio (AA2R). Thus, the...
