Abstract:
This study describes a unique cohort of patients with concomitant fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and primary aldosteronism (PA), two distinct causes of secondary hypertension rarely reported together. By combining clinical, biochemical, and imaging data, we characterize their overlapping features and discuss potential shared hormonal and molecular mechanisms. Our findings suggest that coexistence of FMD and PA may increase vascular complication risk and warrants systematic cross-screening in selected hypertensive patients.

Adrenal insufficiency, characterized by insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production, leads to conditions like Addison's disease. This disorder, affecting the adrenal cortex, exhibits symptoms such as skin bronzing, dehydration, low blood pressure, fatigue, and weight loss.
