The Impact of Glucocorticoid Co-Secretion in Primary Aldosteronism on Thyroid Autoantibody Titers During the Course of Disease

Excess aldosterone is associated with the increased risk of cardio-/cerebrovascular events as well as metabolic comorbidities not only due to its hypertensive effect but also due to its proinflammatory action. Autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) in the setting of primary aldosteronism (PA) is known to worsen cardiovascular outcome and potentially exhibit immunosuppressive effects. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of ACS status...
