    Primary aldosteronism (PA) is prevalent in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and hypertension, with a prevalence of 29.20% in the PTC group.

  • 2

    The frequency of severe hypertension was significantly lower in the PTC group (23%) compared to matched hypertensive controls (73%; P < .001).

  • 3

    After matching controls by hypertension stage, the prevalence of PA was significantly higher in the PTC group (9.56%; P < .0001).

  • 4

    PTC was independently associated with PA in both unmatched and matched hypertensive individuals, indicating a strong link between the conditions.

  • 5

    The study suggests that screening for PA should be recommended for patients with PTC, regardless of the severity of hypertension.
