متن کاملAdrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation during adrenal vein sampling.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Stimulation During Adrenal Vein Sampling To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Seccia et al,1 which investigated the effect of adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation during adrenal vein sampling on the identification of lateralized aldosterone excess in primary aldosteronism. The authors concluded that a high or an intermediate dose of adrenocorticotro...
متن کاملAdrenal Vein Sampling for Conn's Syndrome: Diagnosis and Clinical Outcomes.
Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is the gold standard test to determine unilateral causes of primary aldosteronism (PA). We have retrospectively characterized our experience with AVS including concordance of AVS results and imaging, and describe the approach for the PA patient in whom bilateral AVS is unsuccessful. We reviewed the medical records of 85 patients with PA and compared patients who were...
متن کاملPhysiologic variance of corticotropin affects diagnosis in adrenal vein sampling.
OBJECTIVE Differentiating unilateral form from bilateral is a critical diagnostic step in primary aldosteronism (PA), for which adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is accepted to be the most reliable. However, variance of corticotropin could affect the diagnosis in AVS. DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted simultaneous bilateral AVS on ten biochemically diagnosed PA cases, and used the aldosterone-to-cort...
