Hypoaldosteronism is characterized by low aldosterone levels and the accompanying typical clinical symptoms, such as hypotension, water depletion, and hyperkalemia. Only loss-of-function mutations of the aldosteron synthase cause solely hypoaldosteronism. Often disturbances are more complex and different steroid hormone systems are affected.
