The crucial role of a correct diagnosis of PA is demonstrated by current studies that aldosterone over-secretion is not only resulted in cardiovascular and renal damage (1,2) but also associated with adverse metabolic complication, including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and osteoporosis (3-5).
