A novel approach to streamlining the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism [ 2015 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Michael Stowasser (Principal investigator) ,  E/Pr Richard Gordon

Brief description This study will assess a new clinical test used to diagnose a potentially curable form of high blood pressure called primary aldosteronism (PA). If successful, the test will greatly streamline and simplify the diagnosis of this condition, with the potential for enormous cost savings and a markedly increased rate of diagnosis of patients with PA who can then benefit from optimal treatment and improved quality of life.
