Macrolides for KCNJ5 - Mutated Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma (MAPA)

Summary

This study evaluates if : 1 ) the plasma aldosterone concentration and blood pressure change in response to roxithromycin could be useful for the screening of PA patients carrying a KCNJ5-mutated APA; 2) the change of PAC in response to mutated KCNJ5 channel is truly occurring in KCNJ5-mutated APA.
