Hey guys,
Please help me clarify this:
Does Conn's syndrome cause metabolic acidosis or alkalosis?
In my understanding, it causes metabolic alkalosis and Addison's causes metabolic acidosis. It's because if you get excess aldosterone, you'll retain sodium and lose potassium and hydrogen, and vice versa. But why on FA pg 517, it is stated that Conn's syndrome causes metabolic acidosis? Even doctors-in-training.com also says so. Am I getting my concept wrongly?
Thank you.
