Primary aldosteronism (PA) represents 3-10% of all hypertensive patients. The diagnosis of PA is important, because patients with PA have higher cardiovascular morbidity than patients with essential hypertension. Based on the Consensus Statement on the Clinical Practice of Primary Aldosteronism in Japan published by the Japan Endocrine Society in 2016, PA is diagnosed if one of following four confirmatory tests is positive; the captopril challenge test (CCT), furosemide-upright test (FUP), saline infusion test (SIT), or oral salt-loading test (OST). Because there are no evidences on which confirmatory test is superior than others in terms of sensitivity and specificity, we cannot completely deny PA until all the four tests have been confirmed to be negative. This might be problematic for physicians to diagnose PA for patients referred from general practitioners. In the present study, we analyze correlations among parameters of the four confirmatory tests and compare clinical characteristics between test-positive and test-negative patients for each confirmatory test. This would lead to the simplification of PA diagnosis and the proposal of diagnostic procedure that is appropriate for the clinical condition of each patient.

The plasma aldosterone concentration 60 min after the load of CCT (CCT60-PAC) <=59.0 pg/mL and CCT60-plasma renin activity (PRA) >=1.05 ng/mL/h could predict negativities of SIT and FUP, respectively, with >95% specificities. The present study suggested the SIT as the next test to be done if the CCT-negative patient belonged to the subset with CCT60-PAC >59.0 pg/mL and CCT60-PRA >=1.05 ng/mL/h, otherwise the FUP should be selected.
