  • Title: [Merits of the assay of plasma catecholamines in a glucagon test to diagnosis of pheochromocytoma (author's transl)].
    Author: Bernheim C, Jaillon P, Graisely B, Cloarec M, Debray J, Cheymol G.
    Journal: Nouv Presse Med; 1978 Feb 18; 7(7):553-5. PubMed ID: 643581.
    Abstract:
    In one female patient suffering from an extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma, a stimulation test with glucagon was performed. In spite of the absence of an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, a pronounced increase in plasma catecholamines showed this test to be positive. The authors discuss the reliability criteria of this test, and confirm its good tolerance.
