The time required for blood pressure recovery after aldosterone surgery varies among individuals, typically ranging from several weeks to several months, depending on multiple factors. 1. Preoperative blood pressure levels and the status of adrenal cortex function are important influencing factors. Patients with higher preoperative blood pressure and incomplete suppression of adrenal cortex function may require a longer recovery period after surgery. 2. Patient age, the presence of cardiovascular comorbidities, and postoperative management also affect the speed of recovery. Younger patients with appropriate postoperative management may experience a shorter recovery time. 3. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system also requires time to recover, generally around six months. Therefore, patients should regularly monitor their blood pressure and follow medical advice for postoperative management to promote rapid blood pressure recovery.
