Rapid diagnosis of glucocorticoid suppressible hyperaldosteronism in infants and adolescents.
Glucocorticoid suppressible hyperaldosteronism (GSH) is an uncommon form of dominantly inherited hypertension. Presentation with hypertension and complications such as stroke in early life are well recognised. The use of a simple genetic test carried out on blood or placenta facilitates the detection of infants and children with GSH before the development of hypertension, allowing prompt treatm...
متن کاملDexamethasone-Suppressible Hyperaldosteronism
Dexamethasone-suppressible hyperaldosteronism is a rare familial syndrome in which hypokalemia, suppression of plasma renin concentration, and elevated aldosterone secretion are corrected by treatment with glucocorticoids. Regulation of adrenocortical function and body electrolytes was studied in two affected brothers. Both were hypertensive (210/128 and 160/106 mm Hg) with hypokalemia (3.3 and...

متن کاملAdrenal steroid responses to ACTH in glucocorticoid-suppressible aldosteronism.
To investigate adrenal responses to adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH), we infused graded doses of ACTH (1.25 to 20.0 mIU/30 minutes) in normal subjects, patients with low-renin essential hypertension (LREH), primary aldosteronism (PA), and glucocorticoid-suppressible hyperaldosteronism (GSH). Plasma aldosterone, cortisol, corticosterone, and 18-hydroxycorticosterone were measured. The results reveale...
متن کاملa woman with normotensive primary hyperaldosteronism
normotensive hyperaldosteronism is a rare disorder. it is usually diagnosed with hypokalemia or an adrenal mass. our patient was a 27-year-old female presented with weakness. she had normal blood pressure, hypokalemia, high plasma aldosterone level and suppressed plasma renin activity. after the saline load, test aldosterone didn’t show suppression. adrenal computed tomography revealed a left a...
