    (ENDOCRINE SOC, 2006) Mulatero, Paolo; Milan, Alberto; Fallo, Francesco; Regolisti, Giuseppe; Pizzolo, Francesca; Fardella, Carlos; Mosso, Lorena; Marafetti, Lisa; Veglio, Franco; Maccario, Mauro
    Context: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most frequent form of secondary hypertension, accounting for up to 5-10% of all hypertensive patients, and the diagnosis of PA can present an important challenge for the clinician. After a positive screening test, the diagnosis is confirmed by a suppression test, often an iv saline load test (SLT) or a fludrocortisone suppression test (FST). The FST is considered by many to be the most reliable but is more complex and expensive.
