Primary aldosteronism (PA), a primary adrenal disorder leading to excessive aldosterone production by one or both adrenal glands,
is a common cause of hypertension. It is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular complications compared with primary hypertension.
Despite effective methods for diagnosing and treating PA, it remains markedly underdiagnosed and undertreated.

This activity is a complement to the 2025 clinical practice guideline.
All clinicians that diagnose and treat individuals with primary aldosteronim.
After successful completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  1. Utilize appropriate screening methods for individuals with PA
  2. Identify the best testing methods to determine an appropriate treatment approach
  3. Identify and implement appropriate therapies for individuals with PA

The Endocrine Society is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. Endocrine Society has achieved Accreditation with Commendation.

AMA PRA Category 1 Credit
The Endocrine Society designates each activity in this course for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. While offering CME credits noted above, this program is not intended to provide extensive training or certification in the field.

Please note that while other accrediting bodies accept AMA PRA Category 1 credit, we can only award and report this credit for MDs/DOs. For those outside of this accreditation, please complete the participation evaluation and use that certificate as proof of attendance to submit to your accrediting body.

Maintenance of Certification (MOC)
Successful completion of each CME activity in this course, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 1 points in the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity provider's responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.
