Abstract

Taking into consideration an own observation of Conn's syndrome the diagnostics and therapy of the primary hyperaldosteronism is described. The recognition of Conn's syndrome is important for that account as it coincides with an operatively curable hypertension. Therefore, a diagnostic step programme is proposed. Thus, the first tentative diagnosis shall be made already by a general practitioner. Other specialised and highly specialised investigations have the task to ascertain the diagnosis and to find the right way in therapy.
