Aldosterone-Mediated Sodium Retention Is Reflected by the Serum Sodium to Urinary Sodium to (Serum Potassium)<sup>2</sup> to Urinary Potassium (SUSPPUP) Index

Aldosterone-Mediated Sodium Retention Is Reflected by the Serum Sodium to Urinary Sodium to (Serum Potassium)<sup>2</sup> to Urinary Potassium (SUSPPUP) Index

The serum sodium to urinary sodium ratio divided by the (serum potassium)<sup>2</sup> to urinary potassium ratio (SUSPPUP formula) reflects aldosterone action. We here prospectively investigated into the usefulness of the SUSPPUP ratio as a diagnostic tool in primary hyperaldosteronism....
