PA with Cosecretion of Cortisol

[Guest guest]

We recently had a short discussion on this subject. I happened on another

mention and here is the takeaway:

" Evidence of cosecretion of cortisol occurred in 14% of patients. " and " A

significant minority of patients with PA exhibit evidence of cortisol

cosecretion, which may have implications for perioperative management. "

I only have access to the abstract, here it is:

title: A prospective evaluation of postural stimulation testing, computed

tomography and adrenal vein sampling in the differential diagnosis of primary

aldosteronism.

Dr. Grim, this is a Feb. 2012 study. Is this a recent finding they are starting

to find and document?
