Despite correcting the hypernatremia, it still appears that her brain has been damaged.

All right, as a quick recap, hyperaldosteronism is the chronic, excess secretion of aldosterone from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal gland, and these high aldosterone levels can lead to hypokalemia, hypernatremia, hypertension, and a metabolic alkalosis.

得！简单回顾一下：醛固酮增多是指肾上腺球状带长期分泌过多醛固酮；这些高醛固酮水平可导致低钾、高钠、高压与代谢性碱中毒。
