Anesthetic Experience of Adrenalectomy with Primary Aldosteronism / 대한마취과학회지

ABSTRACT

Primary aldosteronism is a clinical syndrome referring to increased and inappropriate production of aldosterone from adrenal gland due to a solitery adenoma, bilateral hyperplasia or an adrenal carcinoma and this syndrome is characterized by hypertension, hyporeninemia, and hypokalemia and its manifestations. Under the general anesthesia, operation was performed on a 34-year-old male, who was diagnosed as primary aldosteronism caused by aldosterone producing adenoma and we have experienced the anesthetic management of unilateral adrenalectomy during perioperative periods.
