Circadian rhythm of plasma aldosterone concentration in patients with primary aldosteronism.
Plasma aldosterone, cortisol, and renin activity were measured in nine recumbent patients with hyperaldosteronism, including seven with adenomas, one with idiopathic hyperplasia, and one with glucocorticoid suppressible hyperplasia. All had peak values of plasma aldosterone concentration from 3 a.m. to noon and lowest values at 6 p.m. or midnight. This rhythm was similar to the circadian patter...
متن کاملLip Leishmaniasis in Khuzestan (Ahwaz) during the last decade
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a parasitic infection prevalent in many areas. The parasitic agent is usually transmitted by Phlebotomous sp. Lip leishmaniasis is a type of cutaneous leishmaniasis, which has rarely been reported. In a retrospective study performed in Ahwaz, center of Khuzestan province, southwest of Iran, 2861 patients were detected during 1986-1996. Seventeen of these patient...
متن کاملScreening for primary aldosteronism in essential hypertension: diagnostic accuracy of the ratio of plasma aldosterone concentration to plasma renin activity.
BACKGROUND The ratio of plasma aldosterone concentration to plasma renin activity (PRA) is considered the screening test of choice for primary aldosteronism. Uncertainty exists, however, regarding its diagnostic accuracy and the effects of antihypertensive drugs and dietary sodium balance on test characteristics. METHODS We measured PRA and aldosterone in 118 white adults [71 men and 47 women...
متن کاملPlasma Aldosterone Concentration Is Positively Associated With Pulse Pressure in Patients With Primary Hypertension
Increasing evidence showed a link between arterial elasticity and stiffness and pulse pressure (PP), in which plasma aldosterone may play a role. The observational study aimed to explore the potential relations between plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and PP in patients with hypertension. We evaluated the relation between PP and PAC in supine, seated, and upright positions in 195 patients...
متن کاملPatients With Primary Aldosteronism
To evaluate the difference in myocardial damage between primary aldosteronism and untreated essential hypertension, we performed thallium-201 myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography in 10 patients with primary aldosteronism and 10 patients with essential hypertension who were matched for age, sex, blood pressure, and the severity of left ventricular hypertrophy for primary aldoste...
