Immunohistochemical staining seems mandatory for individualizing and shortening follow‐up in unilateral primary aldosteronism

Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir, Bjarni Agnar Agnarsson, Sigurrós Jónasdóttir, Jon Gudmundsson et autres

OBJECTIVE: The clinical significance of immunohistochemistry (IHC) for unilateral primary aldosteronism (PA) has been unclear. Individualized follow-up of PA patients could be in sight. Long-term outcomes of patients, classified based on IHC, need further investigation. We aimed to assess long-term clinical outcomes …
