Mass Spectrometric Measurements of 11‐Deoxycortisol, Androstenedione and Dehydroepiandrosterone Are Superior to Cortisol to Assess Selectivity of Non‐Stimulated Adrenal Vein Sampling

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Successful adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is traditionally assessed using the ratio of cortisol in adrenal to peripheral venous plasma to calculate the selectivity index. With mass spectrometry other steroids can be simultaneously measured that may improve numbers of apparent successful sampling procedures.

Hypokalemic rhabdomyolysis: a rare manifestation of primary aldosteronism [PDF]

, 2015
Rhabdomyolysis is a rare presentation of hypokalemia, although muscle weakness is a well-known manifestation of hypokalemia. Primary aldosteronism is characterized by hypertension, suppressed plasma renin activity, increased aldosterone excretion and ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]

Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2019
Primary aldosteronism (PA) results from excess production of mineralocorticoid hormone aldosterone by the adrenal cortex. It is normally caused either by unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) or by bilateral aldosterone excess as a result of ...

Immunohistochemical Analysis of CYP11B2, CYP11B1 and β-catenin Helps Subtyping and Relates With Clinical Characteristics of Unilateral Primary Aldosteronism

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
Background: Primary aldosteronism is caused by aldosterone overproduction. While conventional hematoxylin-eosin staining can demonstrate morphological abnormality, it cannot provide any functional histopathological information.

A Retrospective Study on the Impact of Primary Aldosteronism in Pregnancy (H.A.P.P.I. Study Group)

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common cause of hypertension in young women. However, there is a paucity of data regarding its impact during pregnancy. The primary objective of this study was to describe the occurrence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) in PA.

Rhabdomyolysis as first presentation of the Conn’s syndrome: a clinical case

Arterial Hypertension
Primary hyperaldosteronism is the leading cause of secondary hypertension, often presented with hypokalemia and even rare with its consequences. We describe a case of a 62-year-old man admitted to the emergency department with rhabdomyolysis from severe ...

Inherited Forms of Primary Hyperaldosteronism: New Genes, New Phenotypes and Proposition of A New Classification

Experimental and clinical endocrinology & diabetes, 2018
Primary aldosteronism is a common cause of endocrine hypertension. It results from the excess production of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex and is related to increased morbidity and mortality. Most cases of PA are sporadic but inherited patterns of the
