Liu Banxia looked a bit worried as he walked into the internal medicine clinic with the test report.
"Are the test results out?" Wang Huan asked.
"The blood test results for the pregnant patient showed only a slightly elevated white blood cell count, everything else is normal. The patient with hypertension and hypokalemia did not show elevated blood aldosterone, and it is somewhat on the lower side. The blood sodium index is slightly high," Liu Banxia said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Huan quickly snatched the test report away.
Although hypokalemia can also cause symptoms of hypertension, when these two combine, the probability of primary aldosteronism is still high. But now? There's an additional symptom of slightly elevated blood sodium, yet the blood aldosterone is normal.
"Are you saying the hypertension is a symptom caused by hypokalemia?" Wang Huan asked.
