In a study of 14 patients (11 Japanese and 3 white North Americans) with aldosterone-producing tumor carried out within 2 to 4 weeks after unilateral adrenalectomy, both plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) increased almost normally with short-term sodium depletion and upright posture. Aldosterone excretion rate (AER) also increased significantly with sodium depletion, and was normally suppressed by sodium loading. Highly significant correlations were observed between PRA and PAC (r=0.89, p < 0.001) or AER (r=0.88, p < 0.001) ater operation, whereas there had been no such correlation before operation. Either physiological or laboratory findings were normalized or markedly improved in all cases although pathohistological diagnosis was made as adenomatous hyperplasia in 10 out of 11. These results indicate that within 4 weeks of operation PRA and the remaining adrenal gland can almost normally respond to stimuli such as sodium depletion and upright posture regardless of the amount of spironolactone given preoperatively.
