Overview
In hospitalized patients the incidence of hypoaldosteronism is 3000 per 100,000 individuals. The prevalence rate of hypoaldosteronism in United states is estimated to be 200,000 cases. Hypoaldosteronism is most commonly seen in middle-aged and older individuals. Both men and women are affected equally. Hypoaldosteronism is more prevalent in African-American, Native Americans, and Hispanics.
