  • Title: [Endocrinology and arterial hypertension].
    Author: Vallotton MB.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1976 Aug 21; 106(34):1141-7. PubMed ID: 1006237.
    Abstract:
    A close relationship exists between the endocrine system and hypertension. A brief survey is conducted of the endocrine diseases most frequently associated with high blood pressure. The available means for preoperative differentiation of an aldosterone-producing adenoma from idiopathic aldosteronism with bilateral hyperplasia are considered. For cases where high blood pressure is the principal presenting sign in a patient without overt endocrinopathy, the diagnostic resources for the detection of a hormonal cause--particularly renin--are critically examined.
