Results There was considerable overlap in the clinical features and laboratory investigations
for patients with unilateral aldosteronoma and those with bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. Of …

Background. In primary aldosteronism, high-resolution adrenal computed tomography (CT)
increasingly identifies subtle anatomic abnormalities. To interpret the functional significance …

Objective Since primary aldosteronism has been reported in asymptomatic incidental
adrenal masses (adrenal incidentalomas, AI), the aim of our study was to detect primary …

CONTEXT Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is recommended in all patients with hyperaldos-
teronism to whom surgery would be offered if the results indicated unilateral hypersecretion …

In primary hyperaldosteronism, it is important to distinguish between unilateral and bilateral
disease, as management strategies differ. In the period 1983–95, we identified 34 patients …

Hyperaldosteronism due to a unilateral adenoma must be distinguished from
hyperaldosteronism due to bilateral hyperplasia to enable the proper choice between …

In a patient with primary aldosteronism, in which the postural endocrine tests suggested the
presence of an aldosteronoma rather than hyperplasia, bilateral adrenal tumours were …

Adrenal venous aldosterone/cortisol ratios were determined in 14 patients with primary
aldosteronism. Of 12 patients diagnosed as having an adrenal adenoma, ten underwent …

ADRENAL tumors associated with primary hyperaldosteronism are characteristically small,
measuring 1 to 2 cm in diameter. As a result of their small size, as well as their relative …

Incidentally discovered adrenal masses are diagnosed with increasing frequency, especially
among patients with hypertension. Thus, a reliable screening test for primary …
