AbstractThe review discusses the current state of the problem of screening patients for early detection of primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) as a potential cause of arterial hypertension (AH). The features of screening, methodological errors that make it difficult to interpret the results of the study are considered. The screening criteria are analyzed, based on which it is possible to assess the probability of diagnosis of PHA and judge its prevalence in various populations of patients with AH categories of high risk for the development of PHA. Attention is drawn to the low level of screening in patients with AH in order to detect PHA , and to the need for wider familiarization of doctors with the methods of screening and diagnosis of PHA as the cause of uncontrolled AH. The importance of timely diagnosis of PHA and its targeted treatment to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications associated with hypersecretion of aldosterone is emphasized.
