Giant Adrenal Oncocytoma: A Case Report and Literature Review

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adrenal oncocytomas are rare, nonfunctioning tumors composed of eosinophilic oncocytic cells whose nonspecific imaging often impedes preoperative diagnosis. We report a case of a large nonfunctioning adrenal oncocytoma with borderline malignant potential, incidentally discovered during cardiac symptom evaluation.

Impact of empiric potassium supplementation on mortality, sudden cardiac arrest and stroke in furosemide initiators

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 8, Page 2924-2936, August 2026.
Aim A prior non‐randomized study suggests that potassium supplementation may improve survival among furosemide initiators, and a randomized trial suggests that salt substitutes containing potassium might lower stroke risk. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using health‐care data to confirm or refute these associations among new users of ...

Update in Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2009
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a condition well worth detecting because it is a common cause of hypertension and is associated with excessive morbidity for the degree of hypertension and reduced quality of life, all of which can be abrogated with specific surgical or medical treatment.

Apparent Bilateral Aldosterone Suppression During Adrenal Vein Sampling: An Artefact of the Liaison Chemiluminescence Immunoassay and Other Causes Revealed by Comparisons With Another Commercial Immunoassay and Mass Spectrometry

Clinical Endocrinology, Volume 105, Issue 2, Page 175-184, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Subtyping of primary aldosteronism usually requires adrenal vein sampling (AVS). Interpretation can be compromised by apparent bilateral aldosterone suppression (ABAS), which we hypothesised reflects an artefact of the Liaison immunoassay of aldosterone.

Lipid Profile in Primary Aldosteronism: Cross‐Sectional and Post‐Treatment Analyses

Lipids, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 527-535, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The relationship between primary aldosteronism (PA) and lipid metabolism remains controversial, with inconsistent findings reported in the literature. This study aimed to clarify PA's impact on the lipid profile using both a cross‐sectional comparison with essential hypertension (EH) controls and a longitudinal within‐patient pre‐post ...

Adrenal vein sampling for primary aldosteronism: a 15-year national referral center experience

Radiology and Oncology, 2020
Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is essential for diagnostics of primary aldosteronism, distinguishing unilateral from bilateral disease and determining treatment options. We reviewed the performance of AVS for primary aldosteronism at our center during first
