Adrenocortical Causes of Hypertension
Primary aldosteronism is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. In the past, screening for primary aldosteronism was offered only in patients with hypertension associated with hypokalemia. Recent studies showed that hypokalemia is seen in only 25% of the patients with primary aldosteronism, which has increased the prevalence of primary aldosteronism to 10-15% of all cases with new ons...
متن کاملAldosterone-Producing Adrenocortical Carcinoma without Hypertension
Although adrenocortical tumors are common, adrenocortical carcinomas are rare. Moreover, aldosterone-producing adrenocortical carcinomas without hypertension are exceedingly rare, with only two previously reported cases.
متن کاملSteroid characteristics of mineralocorticoid adrenocortical hypertension.
Adrenocortical causes of hypertension are established by examining the mineralocorticoid hormones produced in the zona glomerulosa and zona fasciculata. In the zona glomerulosa, aldosterone excess leads to hypertension, hypokalemia, and suppressed plasma renin activity, with increased concentrations of urinary aldosterone (either as the 18-glucuronide or free aldosterone) as an index of its pro...
متن کاملCaffeine may potentiate adrenocortical stress responses in hypertension-prone men.
The effect of caffeine on blood cortisol levels and blood pressures was examined during rest and in response to a challenging psychomotor task in men with a low versus high risk of essential hypertension. Thirty-four healthy men ages 21-35 years were selected such that 17 were at high risk for hypertension (positive parental history and screening blood pressures of 135/85-155/95 mm Hg) and 17 w...
متن کاملAdrenocortical hormones in human hypertension and their relation to angiotensin.
P WORK from our laboratory has shown a significant mean increase in urinary aldosterone in groups of patients with essential, renal, and malignant hypertension and its excessive daily fluctuations in benign and severe hypertensive patients." These results have been confirmed by several groups of workers*" and by R. Romanelli (personal communication). More recently, Laragh et al. have found incr...
