Filter by:Using spironolactone as the control, to assess the efficacy and safety of finerenone in patients with primary aldosteronism(PA).
The purpose of our research is to clarify the therapeutic efficacy and safety of Finerenone in patients with Primary Aldosteronism and explore the effective clinical predictive indicators of Finerenone in the treatment of Primary Aldosteronism.
The goal of this clinical trial is to exploring the role of tubeless after adrenalectomy surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. The safety of tubeless laparoscopic adrenalectomy； 2. The role of tubeless therapy in rapid recovery after adrenalectomy surgery Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: the non drainage group and the drainage group after laparoscopic adrenal surgery, and their pain, first time out of bed, and intestinal recovery time will be observed.
To compare the 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT and adrenal vein sampling on the long-term outcomes of primary aldosteronism (PA) patients with adrenal nodule (≥1cm)
This is an observational study to define the cut-off value of 24-hour urinary aldosterone for screening primary aldosteronism in hypertensive patients in our center. Plasma aldosterone and renin measurements are subject to significant intra-individual variability, including variation related to posture, time of day and sodium balance. Aldosterone secretion is not constant and may be subject to diurnal variation. As such one-off testing of ARR, does not consider the salt status of the individual necessitating repetition of tests to ensure false negative or false positive test results are ruled out. The value of accumulated aldosterone in a 24-hour sample has the advantage that it does not depend on circadian variation. This study will help establish the positivity rates of 24-hour urine aldosterone, and test the robustness of current standard guidelines for primary aldosteronism screening and case confirmation. Previous studies reported that primary aldosteronism is associated with a higher risk of CV complications and a higher prevalence of target organ damage. Also, previous studies reported on the association of echocardiographic parameters with circulating or urinary aldosterone. Therefore, we intent to investigate the independent associations of different target organ damage with the urinary excretion of aldosterone.
This research aims to establish clinical evidence for optimal treatment guidelines for adrenal diseases using real-world data. The approach involves building prospective and retrospective patient registries, which will be utilized to develop and conduct research on disease-specific protocols for adrenal disorders. The study targets patients with primary aldosteronism, pheochromocytoma, adrenal cancer, adrenal incidentalomas, and mild autonomous cortisol secretion. Registries for patients with adrenal diseases will be obtained from Seoul National University Hospital and Asan Medical Center, along with securing a common data model. The ultimate goal is to conduct research to generate clinical evidence for adrenal diseases using these resources.
To explore the relationship between perioperative blood pressure and catecholamine concentrations in adrenal venous blood and peripheral venous blood in hypertensive patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) who underwent percutaneous selective adrenal artery embolization (SAAE). In order to elucidate the related phenomena and possible mechanisms of blood pressure fluctuations caused by SAAE treatment in hypertensive patients with PA.
This study aimed to prospectively evaluate the utility of C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in patients with clinical suspected primary aldosteronism (PA), with postoperative pathological or follow-up results as reference standards.
- 10% of patients with hypertension potentially have the treatable condition - primary aldosteronism (PA). This is caused by either bilateral adrenal disease (~40%), managed with lifelong medications; or unilateral disease (~60%), cured with laparoscopic surgery (adrenalectomy). Current diagnosis of PA includes a screening test with aldosterone-renin ratio, followed by a confirmatory salt loading test (in most patients) to demonstrate unsuppressed aldosterone levels. Of note, some patients with suppressed aldosterone after confirmatory tests (also termed low-renin hypertension) may also have unilateral adrenal tumors. - The difficulty with identifying curable unilateral disease is due to adrenal vein sampling (AVS): an invasive, and technically-difficult procedure. An alternative novel imaging, 11C-Metomidate Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), can detect adrenal tumors which are over-producing aldosterone. It is non-invasive, non-operator-dependent, and potentially may identify more patients with curable unilateral disease. The results from our pilot study in 25 patients with confirmed PA (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03990701, PA_CURE) showed that 11C-Metomidate PET-CT exhibited comparable performance to AVS in subtyping PA, and this should be validated in a larger study. - In addition, 11C-Metomidate is also able to differentiate adrenocortical lesions in the adrenal gland from other lesions found in adrenal tissue, such as adrenomedullary lesions (e.g. pheochromocytoma). - Hence, the investigators hypothesize that 11C-metomidate PET-CT can accurately (1) identify patients with surgically curable unilateral adrenal disease among hypertensive Asians with primary aldosteronism (PA_CURE 2 / PA_MTO EH study) and (2) differentiate adrenocortical lesions from other lesions in patients with adrenal tumors (PA_MTO AT study)
WHYSKI is a prospective within-patient observational clinical study designed to test the hypothesis that alterations of Na+, K+, water, and the lympho-angiogenetic transcription factor Tonicity Enhancing Binding Protein (TonEBP) mRNA take place in the interstitium of the skin compartment of patients with arterial hypertension due to primary aldosteronism in whom hypertension can be surgically cured.
