Utility of right adrenal signature veins in venous sampling for primary aldosteronism

Annals of Medicine, 2023
Background This study aimed to identify the appropriate signature veins for the right adrenal gland using a 3D model fused with adrenal venography images and to verify their accuracy through the selectivity index (SI) >2.Methods We analyzed the right ...

Excess portal venous long-chain fatty acids induce syndrome X via HPA axis and sympathetic activation [PDF]

, 2000
We tested the hypothesis that excessive portal venous supply of long-chain fatty acids to the liver contributes to the development of insulin resistance via activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) and sympathetic system.

Left adrenal aldosteronism coexisting with left paraaortic paraganglioma presenting as bilateral adrenal and left paraaortic tumors– comprehensive adrenal evaluation aiding perfect management: a case report

BMC Endocrine Disorders, 2022
Background Coexistence of a catecholamine-secreting tumor and an adrenal cortical tumor is quite rare which makes both diagnosis and management challenging.

Genetic variation of TLR4 influences immunoendocrine stress response: an observational study in cardiac surgical patients [PDF]

, 2011
Introduction: Systemic inflammation (e.g. following surgery) involves Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling and leads to an endocrine stress response. This study aims to investigate a possible influence of TLR2 and TLR4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

Role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in paediatric practice: an EFSUMB position statement [PDF]

, 2016
The use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in adults is well established in many different areas, with a number of current applications deemed off-label, but the use supported by clinical experience and evidence.

Adrenal Venous Sampling in Primary Hyperaldosteronism [PDF]

Current Surgery Reports, 2013
Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is used to distinguish unilateral from bilateral aldosterone hypersecretion as a cause of primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA). This distinction is critical because unilateral disease is treated, and often cured, by adrenalectomy, whereas bilateral hypersecretion should be managed medically.

A Novel Method: Super-selective Adrenal Venous Sampling [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2017
Primary aldosteronism (PA) and subclinical Cushing's syndrome (SCS) are conditions in which the adrenal glands autonomously produce excessive amounts of aldosterone and cortisol, respectively. The conventional adrenal venous sampling (cAVS) method collects blood samples from both adrenal central veins and is useful for identifying the laterality of ...

Primary hyperaldosteronism: challenges in subtype classification

BMC Research Notes, 2012
Background Primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) is a serious and potentially debilitating disease. Detailed guidelines have been written to guide endocrinologists in establishing the diagnosis of PA as well as in subtype classification of PA. The objective of

The hemodynamics of adrenal veins with four-dimensional computed tomography using quantitative time-density curve: a study based on aldosteronism patients

Scientific Reports, 2023
Present study quantitatively analyzed adrenal venous flow using four-dimensional computed tomography (4D CT). We reviewed 4D CT images of 55 patients [mean age, 52 years ± 11 (standard deviation); 23 females] who underwent adrenal venous sampling between
