A rare case of primary hyperparathyroidism associated with primary aldosteronism and breast cancer is reported. A 44-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital to undergo surgical removal of breast cancer. She had hypertension with low serum potassium, and slightly but significantly elevated serum
Pregnancy-induced Cushing's syndrome (CS) with an adrenocortical adenoma overexpressing luteinizing hormone (LH)/human choriogonadotropin (hCG) receptors (LHCGR) has been rarely reported in the literatures. This peculiar condition challenges the canonical diagnosis and management of A 43-year-old man was admitted to our hospital in January, 1991 for further examination of polydipsia, polyuria and hypertension. He had had a personal history of hypertension since 1976 and of diabetes mellitus since 1982. Physical examination and routine laboratory studies showed that the patient
A 61-year-old Japanese woman was hospitalized because of general malaise. The patient demonstrated hypertension, hypokalemia and chronic renal failure (CRF). Plasma aldosterone concentration and urinary excretion of aldosterone were elevated. Abdominal computed tomographic scan revealed right
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical features of adrenocortical adenoma's diagnosis and treatment in patients aged 60 years or above.
METHODS
A retrospective study was performed with a total of 249 patients aged 60 years or above who suffered from adrenocortical adenoma and treated in Peking Union
Primary hyperaldosteronism is an adrenal abnormality in which there is some degree of autonomy of aldosterone secretion. We report a case of thirty three years old Javanese female presented with uncontrolled hypertension, muscular weakness, cramps and progressing shortness of breath during working
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of metabolic syndrome (MS) in patients of adrenocortical adenoma.
METHODS
MS-related indexes, including waist circumference (WC), blood pressure, triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), fasting plasma glucose,
Intracellular concentration of sodium ([Na]i) and potassium ([K]i), and the ouabain sensitive sodium efflux rate constant (ERCos) in erythrocytes were determined in patients with primary aldosteronism, before and after the surgical removal of the adrenocortical adenoma and in comparison to those in
We studied the roles played by the renin-angiotensin system in inducing hypertension in nine patients with Cushing's syndrome (CS) resulting from adrenocortical adenoma, and compared them with those in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA), renovascular hypertension (RVH) and essential
METHODS
A 6-year-old spayed female domestic ferret was evaluated because of lethargy, alopecia, pruritus, and an abdominal mass.
RESULTS
On initial examination, nonregenerative anemia, mild azotemia, and a large left adrenal gland mass were identified. However, deterioration of the ferret's general
The feasibility, safety and effectiveness of percutaneous computed tomography-guided ethanol injection (PEI-CT) was investigated in a patient affected by aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA). A 42-year-old male patient with typical features of hyperaldosteronism presented a solitary left adrenal
BACKGROUND
Primary hyperaldosteronism is an uncommon cause of hypertension which classically features hypokaliemia, metabolic alkalosis and excessive urinary potassium excretion. Clinical manifestations of hypokalemia rarely reveal the diagnosis.
METHODS
We report the case of a hypertensive patient
OBJECTIVE
To determine the characteristics of an aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) as a cause of hypertension, its mode of presentation and investigation, as well as the outcome of surgical removal.
METHODS
Retrospective survey with follow-up.
METHODS
Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town.

An electrolyte-regulating corticoid has been identified and given the name aldosterone. This hormone may be produced in amounts above normal in adrenal cortical tumors in hyperplastic adrenal glands and in normal appearing adrenal glands. Overproduction of aldosterone is accompanied by certain
