Conclusiones:
En los últimos años nuevas técnicas han permitido identificar mecanismos endocrinos y genéticos
implicados en la regulación de aldosterona y cortisol que tienen un rol importante en la hipertensión
arterial, tanto la asociada a la obesidad como aquella en el contexto de tumores suprarrenales.
Estos hallazgos recientes ofrecen potenciales sitios de acción específicos que pueden facilitar un
tratamiento personalizado.
