Free and conjugated dopamine in pheochromocytoma, primary aldosteronism and essential hypertension.
Since the hypotensive and natrluretic role recently attributed to dopamine (DA) is difficult to test (free DA is usually undetectable in plasma) we measured free and conjugated DA by a newly developed method of hydrolysis of conjugated catecholamlnes in four pheochromocytoma, four primary aldosteronism and 34 essential hypertensive patients subjected to selective venous catheterization or perip...
متن کاملMalignant hypertension and hypertensive encephalopathy in primary aldosteronism caused by adrenal adenoma.
Two cases are reported as follows: 1) 1 female patient with accelerated-malignant hypertension secondary to an aldosterone-producing adrenal adenoma; and 2) 1 female patient with adrenal adenoma, severe hypertension, and hypertensive encephalopathy. This association is a rare clinical finding, and malignant hypertension may modify the hormonal characteristic of primary aldosteronism, making its...
متن کاملProgress in aldosteronism: a review of the prevalence of primary aldosteronism in pre-hypertension and hypertension.
Primary aldosteronism (PA) secondary to excessive and/or autonomous aldosterone secretion from the renin-angiotensin system accounts for ∼10% of cases of hypertension and is primarily caused by bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (BAH) or aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs). Although the diagnosis has traditionally been supported by low serum potassium levels, normokalaemic and even normotensive fo...
متن کاملENDOCRINE DISORDERS IN PREGNANCY Pheochromocytoma and pregnancy: a deceptive connection
A pheochromocytoma in a pregnant patient is one of the most threatening medical conditions for mother, fetus, and physician. Although extraordinarily rare with a frequency of 0.002% of all pregnancies, this tumor is notorious for its devastating consequences. As in non-pregnant patients, the signs and symptoms are quite variable but not specific, with hypertension being one of the most prominen...
متن کاملHypertension Grand Rounds Primary Hyperparathyroidism With Concurrent Primary Aldosteronism
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common cause of secondary hypertension, because it involves 11.2% of referred hypertensive patients.1 Primary hyperparathyroidism (PPTH) is much less common, with a prevalence that, albeit imprecisely known, is probably 0.01% in unselected hypertensives. However, arterial hypertension develops in the majority (56% to 80%) of the PPTH patients,2 which can explain ...
