Outline of Final Research Achievements

Primary aldosteronism is considered as approximately 10% of the causes of hypertension, so the diagnosis of its subtype is crucially important issue because cures are required on different kind of subtype. In this study, we found the substance which was detected more amount in the aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) patient urine than that in the other subtypes of primary aldosteronism. We investigated the possibility of employing this substance as a new biomarker. The substance was detected as 1.5-2.0 fold amount in APA against essential hypertension and idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA). However, its isolation and the structural analysis had not been executed until now.
