Abstract
The prevalence of PA was 5.1%. Although the tests used for the screening and diagnosis of PA are controversial, a PA ought to be investigated in all patients with refractory HT, independently of the existence of hypokalemia. Spironolactone is an effective therapy for BAH and it is an adequate option for APA treatment when an adrenalectomy is not viable.
