Adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation during adrenal vein sampling.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Stimulation During Adrenal Vein Sampling To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Seccia et al,1 which investigated the effect of adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation during adrenal vein sampling on the identification of lateralized aldosterone excess in primary aldosteronism. The authors concluded that a high or an intermediate dose of adrenocorticotro...
متن کاملEffect of adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation during adrenal vein sampling in primary aldosteronism.
Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is fundamental for subtype diagnosis in patients with primary aldosteronism. AVS protocols vary between centers, especially for diagnostic indices and for use of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation. We investigated the role of both continuous ACTH infusion and bolus on the performance and interpretation of AVS in a sample of 76 patients with confirmed prim...
متن کاملAdrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation during adrenal vein sampling for identifying surgically curable subtypes of primary aldosteronism: comparison of 3 different protocols.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone administration was proposed to overcome the biases associated with pulsatile aldosterone secretion during adrenal venous sampling, but the usefulness of different protocols of stimulation was never systematically assessed. We, therefore, compared the effects of a high dose (HD; 250 microg IV as a bolus), a very low dose (VLD; 250 pg IV), and an intermediate dose (ID;...
متن کاملAdrenocorticotropic hormone independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia.
1 of 2 DESCRIPTION Figure 1 is of a CT scan showing bilateral macronodular adrenal glands in a patient with adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH). AIMAH was fi rst described in 1964 1 . AIMAH is often discovered as a fortuitous radiological fi nding, as in our patient, or during investigation for endogenous hypercortisolism. AIMAH represents less than ...
متن کاملImplementation of rapid cortisol during adrenal vein sampling.
Implementation of Rapid Cortisol During Adrenal Vein Sampling To the Editor: We read with great interest the consensus statement on adrenal vein sampling (AVS) by Rossi et al,1 particularly their discussion of rapid cortisol. We recently implemented rapid cortisol during AVS and found it to be a valuable asset in the performance of this essential, but challenging, diagnostic procedure. Before r...
