Renin and aldosterone values in hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis with high urine chloride
| Renin and aldosterone | Elevated blood pressure | Normotensive |
|---|---|---|
| High renin, high aldosterone, normal ratio of plasma aldosterone concentration(PAC) to plasma renin activity(PRA) | Renal artery stenosis Renin-secreting tumor Diuretics | Bartter syndrome Gitelman syndrome Severe potassium depletion (villous adenoma) Diuretics |
| Low renin, high aldosterone, high PAC–PRA ratio | Primary hyperaldosteronism | |
| Low renin, low aldosterone, normal PAC–PRA ratio | Licorice Cushing disease or syndrome Hydroxylase deficiencies Liddle syndrome |
