Aldosterone-Renin ratio (ARR)is currently the most reliable means available for screening for primary aldosterone(PA)while captopril challenging test is the widely used confirmatory test. However, some antihypertensive drugs may interfer aldosterone and renin levels. Thus, PA guidelines suggest that antihypertensive drugs should be withdraw or change therapy before screening.
But withdraw/changing the therapy is inconvenient for patients.
The investigators prepare to start a prospective study through recruiting hypertension patients, completing the ARR screening and captopril challenging test before and after withdraw/change therapy.
