title: [Primary hyperaldosteronism, problems in diagnosis and therapy in clinical practice].
abstract: The paper summarizes data from the recent literature on pathogenetic variants of primary hyperaldosteronism, screening, diagnosis and therapy of this secondary form of arterial hypertension. On examples from their own practice the authors draw attention to the that the diagnosis and treatment of this disease is not always as straightforward as might appear from the literature. The solution is simple, effective screening in every hypertensive patient by examination of the kalaemia before treatment of arterial hypertension is started. In case of hypokalaemia the subsequent procedure should be the concern of specialized departments.
