Biochemical cure is summarized by the mean (and range) ratio of serum aldosterone concentration to plasma renin activity (PRA) before and after adrenalectomy. The mean ratio of serum aldosterone concentration (pmol/L) to PRA (ng/mL/h) prior to adrenalectomy was 11 080 (range = 554‐30 440). Postadrenalectomy the ratio decreased to 211 pmol/L/ng/mL/h (range = 2.2‐1110 pmol/L/ng/mL/h). The mean decrease was 11 050 pmol/L/ng/mL/h (95% CI = 7820‐14 300 pmol/L/ng/mL/h; P < 0.0001). In common units, the mean ratio of serum aldosterone concentration (ng/dL) to PRA (ng/mL/h) prior to adrenalectomy was 400 (range = 20.4‐1099). Postadrenalectomy the ratio decreased to 7.6 (range = 0.08‐40). The mean decrease was 399 (95% CI: 282‐516; P < 0.0001)
