esa-pa-treatment-unilateral

Determines whether to recommend unilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy or medical therapy with a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist for patients with confirmed unilateral PA (aldosterone-producing adenoma or unilateral adrenal hyperplasia). Triggered when discussing treatment options after confirming unilateral PA in a hypertensive patient with hypokalemia or resistant hypertension.

Choose Between Surgery and Medical Treatment for Unilateral PA

STEP 1 — Gather Information

Confirm unilateral PA via adrenal venous sampling (AVS) or, in patients <35 years with spontaneous hypokalemia, marked aldosterone excess (PAC >20 ng/dL), and a unilateral adrenal lesion on CT consistent with adenoma. Assess surgical fitness (ASA class, comorbidities, coagulopathy) and patient treatment preference.
→ Proceed to assess surgical candidacy.

STEP 2 — Rule In / Rule Out

Is the patient able and willing to undergo laparoscopic adrenalectomy?

  • Yes → Proceed to STEP 3.
  • No → Recommend medical therapy with a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) and end.

STEP 3 — Classify or Stratify

For surgical candidates, determine if AVS can be omitted: age <35 years, spontaneous hypokalemia, marked aldosterone excess (PAC >20 ng/dL), and unilateral adrenal lesion on CT suggestive of adenoma.

  • All criteria met → Proceed to adrenalectomy without AVS.
  • Any criterion not met → Obtain AVS to confirm unilateral source.

STEP 4 — Decide

If AVS shows a lateralization ratio >4:1 (with cosyntropin) or criteria from STEP 3 were met, recommend unilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
If AVS indicates bilateral disease, the patient declines surgery after counseling, or surgical contraindications exist, recommend medical therapy with an MRA (spironolactone preferred; eplerenone as alternative).

Clinical Guardrails / Mimics / Pitfalls

Do not proceed to surgery without confirming unilateral source unless strict age/hypokalemia/CT criteria are met. Avoid surgery in patients with uncontrolled coagulopathy, severe cardiopulmonary disease, or pregnancy. Do not mistake non‑functioning incidentaloma for APA; AVS is required when CT is equivocal. Monitor for hyperkalemia, gynecomastia, and menstrual disturbances with MRA; counsel patients on side‑effects before initiation.

Concrete Clinical Example

A 45‑year‑old woman with hypertension, spontaneous hypokalemia, ARR positive, AVS shows left‑right aldosterone/cortisol ratio 5:1, desires definitive treatment, has no surgical contraindications → undergoes laparoscopic left adrenalectomy.

Guide pump setting adjustments for the MiniMed 780G system based on CareLink data, using Medtronic's 3-step follow-up workflow. Use when a clinician has CareLink data for a 780G patient and wants to know what to change — which setting, by how much, and how to program it. Triggers include: "what do I adjust", "how to fix high TIR", "how to reduce hypos", "adjust ICR/ISF/basal", "SmartGuard settings", "780G pump settings review", or any question about optimising 780G therapy after reviewing a download.

Clinicians educate adrenal insufficiency patients taking nondexamethasone glucocorticoids who initiate enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs about early signs of adrenal insufficiency. Trigger when an AI patient on nondexamethasone GC starts an enzyme-inducing AED such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, or oxcarbazepine.

In central hypothyroidism patients receiving levothyroxine who initiate enzyme‑inducing antiepileptic drugs, the guideline recommends checking free T4 at least 6 weeks after AED start and increasing the levothyroxine dose if free T4 falls below the target range. Triggers include: central hypothyroidism patient on levothyroxine starting antiepileptic drug such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, or oxcarbazepine.

Applies serum cortisol cutoffs (<3 μg/dL indicates central adrenal insufficiency; >15 μg/dL likely excludes it) when evaluating morning cortisol for suspected adrenal insufficiency. Triggers include morning cortisol measurement in suspected AI and use when interpreting morning cortisol levels for adrenal insufficiency workup.
