Conn's syndrome is associated with all the following, except:

A
Hypeension
B
Hypokalemia
C
Muscle weakness
D
Metabolic acidosis
High-Yield Explanation
Conn's syndrome is associated with metabolic alkalosis, not with metabolic acidosis. Conn's syndrome refers to primary hyperaldosteronism due to an adrenal adenoma. Increased aldosterone secretion results in hypokalemia from increased excretion of potassium and metabolic alkalosis due to increased hydrogen ion secretion.
