Adrenal gland diseases

Adrenal gland diseases are disorders characterized by hyperfunction or hypofunction of the adrenal glands, resulting in either high levels or low levels of the hormones produced by the adrenal glands. Examples include pheochromocytoma and Addison disease.

[¹¹C]metomidate PET-CT versus adrenal vein sampling for diagnosing surgically curable primary aldosteronism: a prospective, within-patient trial

Comparison of non-invasive [¹¹C]metomidate PET-CT with adrenal vein sampling for predicting biochemical remission of primary aldosteronism showed non-superiority, suggesting that the non-invasive method is suitable for the diagnosis of unilateral primary aldosteronism.

Non-invasive detection of a common, surgically correctable form of hypertension

A clinical trial shows the feasibility of a noninvasive imaging approach to diagnose a surgically amenable subtype of primary aldosteronism — a common and often poorly managed form of hypertension.

Is there a role for the adrenal glands in long COVID?

The symptoms of long COVID and chronic adrenal insufficiency have striking similarities. Therefore, we aim to raise awareness of assessing adrenal function in patients with long COVID.
