Hypoaldosteronism must be differentiated from other diseases that cause hypotension and muscle weakness such as Addison's disease, salt-depletion nephritis,
myopathies, celiac disease, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, anorexia nervosa, syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone (SIADH), neurofibromatosis, porphyria cutanea tarda, and bronchogenic carcinoma. In addition, measurement of plasma renin activity (PRA), serum aldosterone, and serum cortisol is used to differentiate among various subtypes of hypoaldosteronism.
