Should Adrenal Venous Sampling Be Performed in PA Patients Without Apparent Adrenal Tumors?

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
IntroductionSome aldosterone-producing micro-adenomas cannot be detected through image inspection. Therefore, adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is often performed, even in primary aldosteronism (PA) patients who have no apparent adrenal tumors (ATs) on ...

High aldosterone levels in the renal capsular vein from the left aldosterone-producing adenoma on adrenal venous sampling [PDF]

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, 2023
A 42-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital with hypertension and hypokalemia and was diagnosed with primary aldosteronism. Dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography images revealed a 13-mm nodule on the lateral segment of the left ...

Plasma metanephrine for assessing the selectivity of adrenal venous sampling [PDF]

Endocrine Abstracts, 2013
Adrenal vein sampling is used to establish the origins of excess production of adrenal hormones in primary aldosteronism. Correct catheter positioning is confirmed using adrenal vein measurements of cortisol, but this parameter is not always reliable. Plasma metanephrine represents an alternative parameter.

Success Rate of Adrenal Venous Sampling and the Location of Right Adrenal Vein Orifice: A Retrospective Study [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension
Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is the gold standard for identifying aldosterone‐producing adenoma and bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. This study reports the success rate of AVS and the distribution characteristics of the right adrenal vein orifice (RAVO ...

The value of adrenal venous sampling in unveiling the conundrum of double unilateral adrenal adenomas in a case of primary hyperaldosteronism [PDF]

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports
Primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) is a cause of secondary hypertension, often due to adrenal adenoma. The diagnosis and management of multiple unilateral adrenal adenomas in PHA represent a unique challenge.

Adrenal Venous Sampling for Catecholamines: A Normal Value Study [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010
Pheochromocytomas are rare, but potentially fatal, neoplasms. The diagnosis and localization of pheochromocytoma can be challenging, and recently there has been some debate regarding the role for adrenal venous sampling (AVS). The utility of AVS in this setting is hampered by a lack of normative value data for adrenal vein catecholamine concentrations ...

Subtyping of Primary Aldosteronism by Adrenal Venous Sampling.

Endocr Rev
Abstract Primary aldosteronism (PA), the most common cause of arterial hypertension, is surgically curable if a unilateral source of the hyperaldosteronism is discovered. To identify which patients are curable, all current guidelines recommend adrenal venous sampling (AVS), a procedure which, albeit simple in principle, remains scarcely ...

Adrenal Venous Sampling Aids in Distinguishing 17-Hydroxyprogesterone Hypersecreting Adrenal Cortical Adenomas from Non-Classical 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency [PDF]

Diagnostics
Background and Clinical Significance: This report presents the case of a 33-year-old female with recurrent miscarriage, investigated for an adrenal cortical adenoma characterized by autonomous secretion of 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP).

Adrenal venous sampling for stratifying patients for surgery of adrenal nodules detected using dynamic contrast enhanced CT [PDF]

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, 2014
PURPOSEWe aimed to assess the value of adrenal venous sampling (AVS) for diagnosing primary aldosteronism (PA) subtypes in patients with a unilateral nodule detected on adrenal computed tomography (CT) and scheduled for adrenalectomy.

Adrenal venous sampling in primary aldosteronism: Single-centre experience from Western India [PDF]

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2023
Introduction: The protocols and criteria used for adrenal venous sampling (AVS) differ across centres. There are no studies from the Indian subcontinent describing AVS-based outcomes in primary aldosteronism (PA). We aim to describe our experience from a
