Glucocorticoid‐remediable aldosteronism in a young adult with a family history of Conn's syndrome

Abstract

Glucocorticoid‐remediable aldosteronism is a hereditary form of primary hyperaldosteronism and the most common monogenic cause of hypertension. We present the case of a 24‐year‐old man with a family history of Conn's syndrome. Yet, in the index patient, classical characteristics of mineralocorticoid excess could be reversed by exogenous glucocorticoids.
