What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Complete biochemical remission

    Compare the rate of complete biochemical remission between two groups. Blood was drawn to measure aldosterone, renin and potassium.According to PASO criteria, outcomes of adrenalectomy for unilateral primary aldosteronism were classified into complete, partial, and absent success, for both clinical and biochemical outcomes.The proportion of complete biochemical remission according to PASO consensus criteria.

    Measured: 1year

  2. Complete clinical remission

    Compare the rate of complete clinical remission between two groups. Blood was drawn to measure aldosterone, renin and potassium.According to PASO criteria, outcomes of adrenalectomy for unilateral primary aldosteronism were classified into complete, partial, and absent success, for both clinical and biochemical outcomes.The proportion of complete biochemical remission according to PASO consensus criteria.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Daily defined doses of antihypertensive agents

    The daily defined doses of antihypertensive agents of patients' blood pressure well controlled

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Successful catheterization rate

    Calculate the successful rate of catheterization. Successful catheterization was defined as SI≥2 without ACTH stimulation or SI≥3 with ACTH stimulation.

    Measured: procedure

  3. Adverse events

    Including adrenal venous hemorrhage and related adrenal insufficiency, hypertensive urgencies, anaphylactic shock, venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism.

    Measured: 3 month
