Table 1.
Demographic and clinical data of patients with primary aldosteronism and essential hypertension.
Figure 2.
Comparison of random urinary aldosterone-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and the 24-h urinary aldosterone level (Uald-24 h).
(a) Bland-Altman plots to compare Log (UACR) and Log (Uald-24 h) and (b) Passing-Bablok regression scatter plot. Solid line, regression line; dashed lines, 95% confidence interval (CI) for the regression line; dotted line, line of identity.

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism by UACR and Uald-24 h.
Abbreviations: APA, aldosterone-producing adenoma; AUC, area under the curve; EH, essential hypertension; PA, primary aldosteronism; UACR, urinary aldosterone-to-creatinine ratio; Uald-24 h, 24-h urinary aldosterone level.
