The diagnosis and treatment of pheochromocytoma depend critically on effective means to localize the tumor. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have good sensitivity but poor specificity for detecting pheochromocytoma, and nuclear imaging approaches such as (131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy have limited sensitivity. Here we report initial results using 6-[(18)F]fluorodo...
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Plasma and urinary metanephrines are used as screening tests for the diagnosis of phaeochromocytoma. The recommended cut-off levels are not standardized. This study was conducted to identify a cut-off level for 24 h urinary fractionated metanephrines viz. metanephrine (uMN) and normetanephrine (uNMN) using enzyme immunoassay for the diagnosis of phaeochromocytoma. METH...
The diagnosis of pheochromocytoma depends on the documentation of catecholamine overproduction. The use of urinary fractionated metanephrines has recently become common for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. In order to avoid false positive and false negative results, optimal cut-off levels are necessary; however, there have been few published reports on whether different cut-off levels are n...
BACKGROUND In this prospective study, we aimed to assess the haemodynamic changes before and after haemodialysis (HD) in cardiac healthy subjects on chronic HD by imaging methods and endocrine markers of fluid balance. METHODS Mid-regional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), vasopressin (AVP) and copeptin (CT-proAVP), met...
Pheochromocytoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor presenting with classical triad of symptoms. In 10% the cases presentation can be atypical, and diagnosis often missed for several years. Most common neurological manifestations are haemorrhage, seizures, etc., but pheochromocytoma crisis as delirium has been infrequently reported. We present case middle-aged female who presented hypertensive emer...
Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) is considered to be a rare cause of hypertension. However, if left untreated, PHEOs may lead to fatal hypertensive crises during anesthesia and other stresses. The diagnosis of PHEO is therefore extremely important. A 24-hour blood pressure (BP) pattern per se might be of some diagnostic value due to frequently observed higher BP variability as well as an attenuated nigh...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Genetic testing of RET proto-oncogen allows an early diagnosis of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 and establish a correlation between genotype and clinical manifestations. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the benefits of an early diagnosis with genetic testing followed by prompt surgery on the cure of MTC versus a later diagnosis with serum cal...
