Key features
Key features
- Primary aldosteronism is the most frequent etiology of endocrine hypertension and is associated with a higher cardiometabolic risk than essential hypertension
- The diagnosis of primary aldosteronism is usually performed in three steps: (1) case detection; (2) case confirmation, (which is not strictly necessary in all cases); and (3) subtype differentiation
- Subtype classification has the main aim of identifying unilateral cases, who are candidates for surgery

Marta Araujo Castro
Marta Araujo-Castro, MD, PhD, is a Consultant Endocrinologist in the Neuroendocrinology and Adrenal Unit of the Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition at Ramón y Cajal University Hospital, Madrid, Spain, and a researcher at the Ramón y Cajal Institute for Health Research (IRYCIS). Dr. Araujo-Castro completed her residency in Endocrinology and Nutrition at Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda and developed extensive clinical and research expertise in adrenal and pituitary disorders, hereditary endocrine neoplasia, neuroendocrine tumors, and endocrine oncology. Her research focuses on translational endocrinology, particularly the identification of diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers in adrenal and pituitary diseases, precision medicine, endocrine tumor genetics, and optimization of the management of patients with adrenal tumors, Cushing syndrome, pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, and primary aldosteronism. She has led and participated in numerous national and international collaborative studies and is actively involved in several Spanish and European endocrine registries and research networks.
