"A client with a history of hypertension is diagnosed with primary hyperaldosteronism. This diagnosis indicates that the client's hypertension is caused by excessive hormone secretion from which gland?"

Respuesta :

Answer:

adrenal cortex

Explanation:

Hypertension is the condition in which the blood pressure becomes very high. It can lead to other problems too like hyperaldosteronism. Adrenal cortex starts to produce excess aldosterone which increases sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion from the excretory system. This process decreases potassium level in blood. It also increases sodium level in blood which can ultimately increase the blood pressure more.
