Pheochromocytoma – clinical manifestations, diagnosis and current perioperative management [PDF]
Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences, 2019 Pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor characterized by the excessive production of catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine). The diagnosis is suspected due to hypertensive paroxysms, associated with vegetative phenomena, due to the

Biochemical Diagnosis of Phaeochromocytoma and Paraganglioma in Children and Adolescents: A Retrospective Cohort Study. [PDF]
Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)ABSTRACT Introduction Currently, it is unclear whether plasma free or 24‐h urinary fractionated metanephrines are preferable for diagnosis of phaeochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL) in children. Objectives To investigate whether measurements of plasma free and 24‐h urinary fractionated metanephrines are reliable tests for screening for PPGL in children.

Pharmacotherapy Risks in Rare Genetic Diseases: Cross-Referencing ACMG Secondary Findings v3.2 List With Clinical Databases. [PDF]
Clin Transl SciABSTRACT Clinical genomics and pharmacogenomics have largely remained separate fields, though some genetic variants have overlapping disease risk and drug implications. However, the extent of this overlap is not well studied. To explore this gap, we cross‐referenced genes from the American College of Medical Genetics Secondary Findings v3.2 list with ...

Urinary and Plasma Catecholamines and Metanephrines in Dogs with Pheochromocytoma, Hypercortisolism, Nonadrenal Disease and in Healthy Dogs [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of pheochromocytoma (PC) is based on a combination of clinical suspicion, finding an adrenal mass, increased plasma, and urine concentrations of catecholamine metabolites and is finally confirmed with histopathology.

Phasing-in plasma metanephrines determination [PDF]
European Journal of Endocrinology, 2013 ObjectivesWe set up plasma normetanephrine (pNMA) and metanephrine (pMA) assays as they demonstrated their usefulness for diagnosing phaeochromocytomas. Our scope is to describe some practical laboratory aspects and the clinical relevance of these assays in our endocrinological or cardiological departments.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the results

Mass Spectrometric Measurements of 11-Deoxycortisol, Androstenedione and Dehydroepiandrosterone Are Superior to Cortisol to Assess Selectivity of Non-Stimulated Adrenal Vein Sampling. [PDF]
Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)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.
