Abstract | CONTEXT: OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to analyze the clinical relevance of ZG insufficiency causing hyperkalemia after adrenalectomy in a large series of patients with APA. DESIGN: This was a retrospective chart review. SETTING: The study was conducted at two tertiary university referral centers in Germany. PATIENTS: Data from 110 patients with confirmed APA adrenalectomized at the centers in Munich and Berlin between 2004 and 2012 were analyzed.

RESULTS: CONCLUSION:
