| Approximately half of the cases of pheochromocytoma manifest characteristic hypertensive crises. |
|
| Other medical conditions commonly associated with anxiety include mitral valve prolapse, carcinoid syndrome and pheochromocytoma. |
|
| The only known disease of the adrenal medulla is a tumour known as a pheochromocytoma. |
|
| To determine whether an adrenal mass is functioning, the patient should be assessed for signs and symptoms of Cushing's syndrome, pheochromocytoma or hyperaldosteronism. |
|
| Excess catecholamine levels play a role in causing white coat hypertension and hypertension in pheochromocytoma, OSA, and other diseases discussed in this article. |
|
| Data of the last years have shown that the metanephrines in plasma are the best marker for diagnosis and follow-up of pheochromocytoma. |
|
| Cases of falsely diagnosed pheochromocytoma in patients with levodopa-carbidopa therapy have been reported very rarely. |
|
| This applies primarily to the pheochromocytoma, but also the neuroblastoma and the ganglioneuroma. |
|
| The life expectancy of a person with pheochromocytoma is usually three to five years. |
|
| Measurements of plasma free metanephrines provide a particularly sensitive test for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. |
|
| Measurements of plasma methoxytyramine, normetanephrine, and metanephrine as discriminators of different hereditary forms of pheochromocytoma. |
|
| Azilect is also contraindicated in patients with pheochromocytoma. |
|
| People with heart conditions, diabetes, thyroid disease, central nervous system disorders, glaucoma, pheochromocytoma, hypertension, known risk factors for cardiovascular disease, or enlarged prostate. |
|
| Likewise, MS profiling of urinary catecholamines has long been helpful in evaluating patients with neuroendocrine tumours, such as pheochromocytoma and neuroblastoma. |
|
| Or could the patient have a pheochromocytoma — a rare tumor that causes the adrenal gland to produce too much of its namesake hormone — adrenaline. |
|
| She suspected this was a pheochromocytoma. |
|
| The mini-invasive laparoscopic approach is currently the reference technique to perform a total or partial adrenalectomy in patients affected by pheochromocytoma. |
|
| Pheochromocytoma is a rare and mostly benign tumor which arises from chromaffin cells with excessive catecholamine production and secretion. |
