International Journal of Endocrinology, 2019 The management of patients with adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent Cushing’s syndrome and bilateral adrenal masses is challenging. Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) has been used to identify functional lesions in previous studies, but it is not always ...

Nuclear imaging in the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism. [PDF]
, 2015 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Primary aldosteronism is increasingly recognized as a common secondary cause of hypertension. Successful demonstration of a unilateral cause (e.g. a classical 'Conn's adenoma') offers the potential for curative adrenalectomy.

Aldosterone-producing adenoma and other surgically correctable forms of primary aldosteronism [PDF]
, 2010 Surgically correctable forms of primary aldosteronism are characterized by unilateral aldosterone hypersecretion and renin suppression, associated with varying degrees of hypertension and hypokalemia. Unilateral aldosterone hypersecretion is caused by an

Diagnostic criteria for adrenal venous sampling
Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity, 2016 Primary aldosteronism accounts for 3 to 5% of all hypertension cases. Unilateral aldosterone hypersecretion can be treated with adrenalectomy. Guidelines for primary aldosteronism management recommend adrenal vein sampling (AVS) to ascertain unilateral primary aldosteronism before surgery.

Adrenal venous sampling: cosyntropin stimulation or not? [PDF]
European Journal of Endocrinology, 2019 Notwithstanding the high prevalence of primary aldosteronism (PA), probably the most common form of secondary hypertension, the diagnosis of PA is often neglected or delayed, thus precluding target treatment, which is curative in many cases. For selection of the most appropriate treatment, a fundamental step is the distinction between a lateralized ...
