Abstract (English)	Primary Aldosteronism (PA) is the leading cause of endocrine hypertension but is significantly underdiagnosed. The development of a point-of-care rapid blood test for the detection of PA would allow PCPs to more easily and rapidly screen for PA and refer suspected patients to a diagnostic center.
