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 ...

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

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.

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.

Model-Informed Target Morning 17α-Hydroxyprogesterone Concentrations in Dried Blood Spots for Pediatric Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Patients

Pharmaceuticals, 2023
Monitoring cortisol replacement therapy in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) patients is vital to avoid serious adverse events such as adrenal crises due to cortisol underexposure or metabolic consequences due to cortisol overexposure.

A case of primary aldosteronism with resistant hypertension successfully treated by unilateral adrenalectomy after unsuccessful classification of subtype in adrenal venous sampling

Clinical Case Reports, 2019
Despite being an established method to identify the unilateral subtype of primary aldosteronism with an indication of adrenalectomy, adrenal venous sampling sometimes fails primarily due to unsuccessful cannulation to adrenal veins.

A BSCB‐Penetrating Nanoplatform for Enhanced Luteolin Delivery in PRMT2‐Targeted Epigenetic Therapy of Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, MSN‐BO@LUT penetrates the blood‐spinal cord barrier for luteolin delivery in spinal cord injury. The nanodrug suppresses neuroinflammation and promotes functional recovery of the spinal cord. Mechanistically, luteolin targets protein arginine N‐methyltransferase (PRMT2) to decrease toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) methylation, thereby ...
