In primary aldosteronism (PA), aldosterone could affect glomerular hemodynamics by elevating renal vascular resistance and glomerular capillary pressure. However, the relationship between plasma aldosterone concentrations (PAC) and glomerular hemodynamics including efferent arteriolar resistance (Re), and afferent arteriolar resistance (Ra) in humans is still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships of PAC with intraglomerular hemodynamic parameters in patients with PA.
