Clinical Studies Further Evaluation of Saline Infusion for the Diagnosis of Primary Aldosteronism
Normal subjects, normal-renin hypertensive patients, and low-renin hypertensive patients were evaluated by intravenous saline infusion and with a fludrocortisone acetate (Florinef) protocol to clarify diagnostic criteria for primary aldosteronism that are recommended for the saline infusion protocol. The patients consumed a 200 mEq sodium, 70 mEq potassium diet for 6 days, and on the last 3 day...

متن کاملSuppression of Aldosterone Secretion After Recumbent Saline Infusion Does Not Exclude Lateralized Primary Aldosteronism.
Guidelines recommend suppression tests such as the saline infusion test (SIT) to ascertain the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism (PA) in patients with a high aldosterone:renin ratio. However, suppression tests have only been evaluated in small retrospective series, and some experts consider that they are not helpful for the diagnosis of PA. In this study, we evaluated whether low post-SIT aldo...
متن کاملDOCA test for aldosteronism: its usefulness and implications.
Experience with the DOCA test (measurement of urinary excretion of aldosterone before and after 3 days of administration of 10 mg deoxycorticosterone acetate [DOCA] intramuscularly every 12 hours while on high sodium intake) is presented in 129 hypertensive patients to define its usefulness in discriminating between autonomous and nonautonomous production of aldosterone. All patients who did no...
متن کاملClinical evaluation of the captopril screening test for primary aldosteronism.
In order to investigate the validity of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition with captopril as a screening test for primary aldosteronism (PA), 50 mg of captopril were administered orally to 7 patients with PA, 17 with essential hypertension (EH), 5 with renovascular hypertension (RVH), 2 with renoparenchymal hypertension (RH) and 8 normal volunteers. The plasma aldosterone concentration (P...
