Objectives: Coexistence of primary aldosteronism and obstructive sleep apnea in hypertension is evidenced. However, aldosterone and renin activity is varying with apnea/hypopnea index changes in subjects with resistant hypertension. Thus, the aim is to investigate the optional cutoff value for aldosterone/renin activity to screen primary aldosteronism in patients with different status of apnea/hypopnea index. Methods: 271 hypertensive male snores were evaluated via polysomnography and divided into two groups, group with apnea/hypopnea index >15 events/h and with apnea/hypopnea index <15 events/h. Primary aldosteronism was determined as following: subjects with plasma renin activity<1.0 ng/mL/h and aldosterone concentration>15 ng/dL performed saline infusion test, after which aldosterone concentration>5 ng/dL was a sign of prim..
