Altered Chromogranin A Circulating Levels in Meniere's Disease
OBJECTIVES Meniere's disease (MD) is an inner ear disorder characterized by episodic vertigo, ear fullness, and hearing loss; usually vertigo attacks cluster in specific period. We studied in MD patients the circulating levels of chromogranin A (CgA) and vasostatin-1 (VS-1), secreted by the neuroendocrine system and involved in the regulation of the endothelial barrier function. METHODS Serum...
متن کاملPrognostic value of circulating chromogranin A levels in acute coronary syndrome: reply
We refer to the orginal paper by Jansson et al. to which we would like to address some comments. Chromogranin A (CgA) has been accepted as a marker for the neuroendocrine tumours (NET), with some limits concerning its value for diagnostic purposes, and greater strength for monitoring their treatment. Chromogranin A levels in patients with NET, however, often are markedly increased. In the group...
متن کاملPrognostic value of circulating chromogranin A levels in acute coronary syndromes
AIMS To determine whether circulating levels of chromogranin A (CgA) provide prognostic information independently of conventional risk markers in acute coronary syndromes (ACSs). METHODS AND RESULTS We measured circulating CgA levels on day 1 in 1268 patients (median age 67 years, 70% male) with ACS admitted to a single coronary care unit of a Scandinavian teaching hospital. The merit of CgA ...
متن کاملIndependent prognostic role of circulating chromogranin A in prostate cancer patients with hormone-refractory disease.
The presence of neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation in the context of predominantly exocrine prostate cancer may play a key role in androgen-independent tumor growth. The prognostic significance of plasma chromogranin A (CgA) was assessed in a series of consecutive prostate cancer patients with hormone-refractory disease. One hundred and eight patients with newly diagnosed hormone-refractory pr...
متن کاملStudies on chromogranin levels in human blood.
Considering that the determination of chromogranin levels in the blood for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma will provide clinically useful information, an attempt was made to establish the serological assay system for blood chromogranin, and also chromogranin levels in the blood of normal subjects, patients with essential hypertension and a patient with pheochromocytoma were studied. Chromogra...
