Predictive Value of Preoperative Tests in Discriminating Bilateral Adrenal Hyperplasia from an Aldosterone-Producing Adrenal Adenoma

In primary hyperaldosteronism, discriminating bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (BAH) from an aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) is important because adrenalectomy, which is usually curative in APA, is seldom effective in BAH.
