[Functional state of the adrenals in various forms of arterial hypertension]. 1992

R I Sokolova, and V N Volkov, and O S Bulkina, and S E Ustinova

The study of structural changes and changes of the aldosterone content (AC) in the surgically removed adrenals of patients with different clinical variants of combination of the arterial hypertension (AH), low--renin hyperaldosteronism and space--occupying lesions in the adrenals found by CT was carried out. In 15 of 20 patients after adrenalectomy the diagnosis of the primary aldosteronism (PA) was established, in 4 cases diagnosis of the hypertension, 2B degree, and in one case the diagnosis of Cushing disease. The functional state was evaluated according to AC in the adenomas and macronodes and in the adjacent cortex as well as by nuclei size of cells producing aldosterone. The aldosterone hyperproduction was shown to be associated with local adenoma in some cases and with hyperactive cortex in the others this being reflected in the course of AH and in the adrenalectomy hypotensive effect.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D003480 Cushing Syndrome A condition caused by prolonged exposure to excess levels of cortisol (HYDROCORTISONE) or other GLUCOCORTICOIDS from endogenous or exogenous sources. It is characterized by upper body OBESITY; OSTEOPOROSIS; HYPERTENSION; DIABETES MELLITUS; HIRSUTISM; AMENORRHEA; and excess body fluid. Endogenous Cushing syndrome or spontaneous hypercortisolism is divided into two groups, those due to an excess of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN and those that are ACTH-independent.

D006929 Hyperaldosteronism A condition caused by the overproduction of ALDOSTERONE. It is characterized by sodium retention and potassium excretion with resultant HYPERTENSION and HYPOKALEMIA.

D000311 Adrenal Glands A pair of glands located at the cranial pole of each of the two KIDNEYS. Each adrenal gland is composed of two distinct endocrine tissues with separate embryonic origins, the ADRENAL CORTEX producing STEROIDS and the ADRENAL MEDULLA producing NEUROTRANSMITTERS.

D000315 Adrenalectomy Excision of one or both adrenal glands. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Adrenalectomies
D000450 Aldosterone A hormone secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX that regulates electrolyte and water balance by increasing the renal retention of sodium and the excretion of potassium. Aldosterone, (+-)-Isomer,Aldosterone, (11 beta,17 alpha)-Isomer
