Guest guest Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Dr. Grim, Is this what we are teaching today? Maybe you want to update the " Cleveland Clinic " ! Conn's Disease (hyperaldosteronism) This extremely rare disease usually occurs in women. It may result from excessive growth (hyperplasia) in tissues of both adrenal glands or a benign tumor in a single gland. It leads to over-production of aldosterone, potassium loss and increased sodium retention in the kidneys.
