Methods From January 1988 to January 2000,69 cases of aldosterone producing adenoma of the adrenal gland were diagnosed and treated.The diagnosis was all confirmed on open surgery and pathological studies. Results In all the patients,serum potassium level resumed to normal range in a week postoperatively.48 patients have been followed up for 3 months to 10 years,in 45 of them the blood pressure dropped to normal.In the other 3, drugs are still needed to control blood pressure after operation.
