Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Outperforms Radioimmunoassay in Guiding Surgical Decisions Based on Adrenal Venous Sampling in Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]

Endocrinology and Metabolism
Background Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is essential for diagnosing unilateral aldosterone oversecretion in primary aldosteronism (PA). Traditionally, AVS relies on radioimmunoassay (RIA) to measure plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC), although RIA ...

Confounders of the aldosterone‐to‐renin ratio when used as a screening test in hypertensive patients: A critical analysis of the literature

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2021
The aldosterone‐to‐renin ratio (ARR) is a common screening test for primary aldosteronism in hypertensives. However, there are many factors which could confound the ARR test result and reduce the accuracy of this test.

Inhibition of Galectin-3 Pathway Prevents Isoproterenol-Induced Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Fibrosis in Mice [PDF]

, 2016
Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is involved in inflammation, fibrogenesis, and cardiac remodeling. Previous evidence shows that Gal-3 interacts with aldosterone in promoting macrophage infiltration and vascular fibrosis and that Gal-3 genetic and ...

A Hidden Culprit: Aldosteronoma as a Rare Cause of Refractory Hypertension in Autosomal‐Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypertension is common in autosomal‐dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) but may occasionally reflect a secondary etiology. We report a 71‐year‐old man with ADPKD and end‐stage renal disease who developed persistent, refractory hypertension following renal transplantation despite multidrug therapy and bilateral native nephrectomy ...

Negative impact of β-arrestin-1 on post-myocardial infarction heart failure via cardiac and adrenal-dependent neurohormonal mechanisms [PDF]

, 2014
β-Arrestin (βarr)-1 and β-arrestin-2 (βarrs) are universal G-protein-coupled receptor adapter proteins that negatively regulate cardiac β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) function via βAR desensitization and downregulation.

Impact of Short‐Term Insulin Pump Therapy on Cardiometabolic Index in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 2, March 2026.
The study reveals that CMI levels significantly decrease after short‐term CSII therapy in T2DM, with CMI positively correlated with insulin resistance, indicating the therapy's significance in improving patients' cardiometabolic function. ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to investigate the changes in cardiometabolic index (CMI) levels in newly ...

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and salvage surgery for an aldosterone-producing adrenal carcinoma with inferior vena cava thrombus: Case report and literature review

Asian Journal of Surgery, 2013
Inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus is a rare presentation of adrenal carcinoma. Hyperladosteronism is rarely associated with it. We report a case of an aldosterone-producing left adrenal carcinoma with IVC thrombus and invasion of multiple organs, treated

ClC‐2 Contributes to Hypotonicity‐Induced Adrenal Aldosterone Secretion

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The zona glomerulosa (ZG) of the adrenal cortex regulates blood pressure and electrolyte homeostasis through aldosterone production. In ZG cells, potassium and angiotensin II (Ang II) trigger calcium oscillations that drive aldosterone synthesis.
