Effect 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 کاملIntramuscular ACTH stimulation test for assessment of adrenal function.
OBJECTIVES Adrenal insufficiency is often diagnosed by short synacthen test using intravenous Injection Synacthene, which is not marketed in India officially. To overcome this problem this study was planned to validate and use Acton Prolongatum (Ferring pharmaceuticals) as intramuscular ACTH stimulation test for evaluation of adrenal function. METHODS This study was planned in two groups. Fir...
متن کاملACTH-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone- (ACTH-)independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH) is an infrequent cause of Cushing's syndrome (CS). AIMAH presents as incidental radiological finding or with subclinical or overt CS, occasionally with secretion of mineralocorticoids or sex steroids. The pathophysiology of this entity is heterogeneous. The aberrant adrenal expression and function of one or...

متن کاملACTH receptors in the adrenal: specific binding of ACTH-125I and its relation to adenyl cyclase.
Pure monoiodo ACTH-(125)I was prepared that was biologically active and free of unlabeled ACTH. Extracts of adrenal cortex that contained ACTH-sensitive adenyl cyclase, bound ACTH-(125)I; extracts that lacked the ACTH-sensitive cyclase did not bind ACTH-(125)I. Unlabeled ACTH inhibited the binding of ACTH-(125)I. Five ACTH derivatives which varied widely in biological activity were tested. All ...
