Aldosterone Excess refers to a condition where the body produces too much of the hormone aldosterone, which is responsible for regulating sodium and potassium levels in the blood. This excess can lead to increased sodium retention, causing the body to hold onto more water, which may result in high blood pressure and swelling. The most common cause of Aldosterone Excess is a condition called primary hyperaldosteronism, often due to an adrenal gland tumor or hyperplasia. Symptoms may include headaches, muscle weakness, and frequent urination. Treatment typically involves medications, lifestyle changes, or surgery to address the underlying cause.
