Overview

Worldwide, the prevalence of Conn's syndrome (Primary hyperaldosteronism-PA) ranges from a low of 10,000 per 100,000 persons with hypertension to a high of 35,000 per 100,000 persons with hypertenion when aldosterone/renin ratio is used as a screening tool.[1]

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

  • Worldwide, the prevalence of Conn's syndrome (Primary hyperaldosteronism-PA) ranges from a low of 10,000 per 100,000 persons with hypertension to a high of 35,000 per 100,000 persons with hypertenion when aldosterone/renin ratio is used as a screening tool.[1]
  • In patients with resistant hypertension, the prevalence of Conn's syndrome (Primary hyperaldosteronism-PA) is reported to be even higher, ranging from a low of 17,000 per 100,000 patients to a high of 23,000 per 100,000 patients.[2]
  • FH1 accounts for 0.5 to 1.0% of PA and occurs equally among women and men [3]
  • The prevalence of FH2 ranges from 1.2 to 6% in adult populations of PA [4]

Gender

Race

  • There is no racial predilection for Conn's syndrome (Primary hyperaldosteronism-PA).[5]
  • Blacks have been found to have lower plasma renin activity than other populations.[6]
