Aldosterone-producing microadenoma in a patient with primary aldosteronism.
A 54-year-old patient was found to have an aldosterone-producing microadenoma measuring 2.5 mm in diameter. Although adrenal venography by selective catheterization had failed to demonstrate the tumour, adrenal scintiscan using 131I-19-iodocholesterol accurately localized the functional tumour in the right adrenal gland; a dexamethasone-modified adrenal scintiscan revealed complete suppression ...
متن کاملPrimary aldosteronism in a patient with an aldosterone-producing adenoma.
We describe an unusual patient presenting with a history of refractory hypertension and hypokalemia. Initial screening tests for adrenal hypertension were consistent with primary aldosteronism and an abdominal computed tomography scan showed an 8-mm left adrenal mass. However, adrenal venous sampling revealed markedly suppressed plasma aldosterone in the left adrenal vein but increased plasma a...
متن کاملPrimary Aldosteronism Hyperparathyroidism Can Be Useful in the Identification of Primary Aldosteronism Due To Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma
Hyperparathyroidism represents as a novel feature of primary aldosteronism (PA). Its occurrence in patients with the surgically correctable aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) and not in those with bilateral adrenal hyperplasia suggested that the measurement of parathyroid hormone could help in differentiating between these subtypes of PA. To test this hypothesis we measured the plasma levels o...
متن کاملThe steroid content of adrenal adenomas and measurements of aldosterone production in patients with essential hypertension and primary aldosteronism.
The content of aldosterone, corticosterone, and cortisol has been assayed in normal adrenal tissue obtained at autopsy and in adrenal adenomas from both normotensive and hypertensive patients obtained at autopsy and from patients with primary aldosteronism obtained at surgery. The content of aldosterone and corticosterone in the adenomas of patients with essential hypertension was similar to th...
متن کاملClinical evaluation of the captopril screening test for primary aldosteronism.
In order to investigate the validity of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition with captopril as a screening test for primary aldosteronism (PA), 50 mg of captopril were administered orally to 7 patients with PA, 17 with essential hypertension (EH), 5 with renovascular hypertension (RVH), 2 with renoparenchymal hypertension (RH) and 8 normal volunteers. The plasma aldosterone concentration (P...
