Glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism in a young adult with a family history of Conn's syndrome.

Glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism is a hereditary form of primary hyperaldosteronism and the most common monogenic cause of hypertension. We present the case of a 24-year-old man with a family history of Conn's syndrome.
