Flow diagram of report numbers of participants at each stage of study. Comparisons of blood biochemical parameters were performed between 21 (13 women/eight men) in the KCl group (excluding patient 10) and ten (six women/four men) in the non-KCl group. Home 24-hour urinary parameters were compared between 20 (12 women/eight men) in the KCl group (excluding patients 7 and 9) and nine (five women/four men) in the non-KCl group (excluding patient 28). Spot urinary parameters were compared between 18 (12 women/six men) in the KCl group (excluding patients 15, 18, and 35) and nine (five women/four men) in the non-KCl group (excluding patient 31). A total of 30 (18 women/12 men) patients with PA were included in the baseline analyses of NCC abundance and phosphorylation, and 26 (16 women/ten men) patients with PA were included in paired comparisons. NCC, sodium-chloride cotransporter; HTN, hypertension; ARRs, aldosterone-to-renin ratios; SSST, seated saline suppression testing; N, sample size; KCl, potassium chloride; PA, primary aldosteronism; uEV, urinary extracellular vesicles.
