is the result of an aldosterone secreting tumor arising in the zona
glomerulosa layer of the adrenal cortex.
urinary sodium retention with increased water retention (which leads to
increased blood volume and hypertension) accompanied by increased
urinary excretion of potassium. Hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis
often occur, with plasma sodium levels typically only slightly elevated
(due to the dilutional effects of the water retention).
low levels of plasma renin, due to the suppression of renin secretion by
the kidneys because of the higher blood volumes.
