Serum 18-hydroxycortisol in primary aldosteronism, hypertension, and normotensives.
This study reports the determination of plasma 18-hydroxycortisol (18-OHF) using a new and easy enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method in primary aldosteronism and compares the values found in essential hypertensives and normotensive controls. In primary aldosteronism, we evaluated usefulness of plasma 18-OHF determination and the dexamethasone suppression test in the diagnosis of glu...
متن کاملUnusual presentation of the Conn\'s syndrome: a case report
Abstract A 26 -year- old woman presented with rhabdomyolysis secondary to severe hypokalemia. Hypertension and metabolic alkalosis could lead to the suspicion of primary aldosteronism, which was confirmed by a decreased plasma rennin, elevated plasma aldosterone levels and high aldosterone/rennin ratio additionally. Additionally adrenal computed tomography showed an adrenal tumour. Blood press...
متن کاملA Potential Link between Environmental Triggers and Autoimmunity
Autoimmune diseases have registered an alarming rise worldwide in recent years. Accumulated evidence indicates that the immune system's ability to distinguish self from nonself is negatively impacted by genetic factors and environmental triggers. Genetics is certainly a factor, but since it normally takes a very long time for the human genetic pattern to change enough to register on a worldwide...
متن کاملGenetic susceptibility to autoimmune liver disease.
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) are considered as putative autoimmune diseases of the liver. Whereas strong evidence that bacterial infection may trigger PBC exists, the etiologies for PSC and AIH remain unknown. Although there have been significant discoveries of genetic polymorphisms that may underlie the susceptibility to t...
متن کاملA trigger database of autoimmune diseases to assess complex trigger-disease- relationships
Studies on the development of immune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis RA, need to assess the potential environmental triggers that are active before the disease becomes obvious, and the genetic susceptibility of the patients in which these triggers act. Additionally, it is necessary to assess if the presence of such triggers in an arthritis prone patient will give rise to the immune react...
