The question of my life and that of any PA sufferer. An answer to that

would be an apotheosis.

So, maybe we have to take our expensive (*smiles*) scientific knowledge and

invent something that decreases aldo?

Aldo is controlled by ACTH so we could take the hypopysist out but wont help

PA and is a bit of a problem.

Low K lowers aldo but as you know there are other problems with this.

Some day we might be able to knock out the turmor with radiation?

One can also use aminogluthetimide but it has other problems.

Or inject a gene that cancels aldo synthetase.

May your pressure be low!

Can ACTH be suppressed??? So many questions. When I first got medical care

(?) my ACTH was triple the upper normal range. Six months later, when that

episode had subsided, it was normal.

What about a gamma knife on an adrenal adenoma. Could that work? The

hospital here is using it quite a bit for brain tumors.

Don't think they have been tested for radiation sensitivity.
