Abstract
Hyperkalemia is an important complication of adrenalectomy for patients with primary aldosteronism (PA). The frequency of hyperkalemia after medication using mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) for PA is unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency and the risk factors of hyperkalemia after surgery and medication for PA. The data of 376 patients with PA registered in a multicentre-collaborative study in Japan, including surgically treated patients (group A; n=142) and medically treated patients with MRAs (group B; n=234) were studied. The prevalence of hyperkalemic patients (serum potassium >5.0 mEq l.sup.-1) after treatment was higher in group A than group B (9.9 vs 3.8%, P60 years) and impaired renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate
