The current clinical investigation for primary aldosteronism (PA) diagnosis requires complex expensive tests from the initial suspicion to the final subtype classification, including invasive approaches; therefore, appropriate markers for subtype definition are greatly desirable. The present study performs a metabolomics analysis to further examine specific molecular signatures of PA urines EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The study considered PA subtype and gender-related differences using two orthogonal advanced UHPLC-MS metabolomics approaches.

Abstract

The current clinical investigation for primary aldosteronism (PA) diagnosis requires complex expensive tests from the initial suspicion to the final subtype classification, including invasive approaches; therefore, appropriate markers for subtype definition are greatly desirable. The present study performs a metabolomics analysis to further examine specific molecular signatures of PA urines EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The study considered PA subtype and gender-related differences using two orthogonal advanced UHPLC-MS metabolomics approaches. Patients with essential hypertension (n = 36) and PA (n = 50) who were referred to the outpatient hypertension clinic and matched healthy subjects (n = 10) are investigated.
