Filter by:The aim of this study is to develop a one-step diagnostic method for adrenal diseases, Patients with adrenal diseases including non-functioning adrenal adenoma, adrenal Cushing's syndrome, primary aldosteronism, and pheochromocytoma will be recruited. Using mass spectrometry analysis based on a multisteroid panel, serum, urine, saliva, and hair samples of the patients will be analyzed. The diagnostic yield of each and combination of steroids will be evaluated.
This is a biomedical research study on the determination of adrenal steroids. It has been proposed in recent years as a tool for the diagnostic orientation of an adrenal pathology. The main objective is to analyze the distribution of blood and urinary adrenal steroid values in a population of 60 controls. The secondary objective is to establish reference values for each of these parameters, if their distribution permits, and to study the possible link between the blood pressure level, the orthostatism state, the potassium level and these adrenal steroids.
This randomized comparative study assesses the safety and efficacy of the posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy in comparison to the standard, anterior transperitoneal approach and suppose that this new technique is a safe and effective alternative to the standard approach.
The purpose of this study is to compare two surgical methods of adrenalectomy. One is called PRA(posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy), which is performed through 3 or 4 holes at patient's back. The other is LA(laparoscopic adrenalectomy) which is performed through patient's abdominal cavity after making 3 or 4 holes in the abdomen.
