摘要: Variability in the levels of epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) adrenal vein blood is thought to preclude their usefulness caval sampling studies for localizing abdominal pheochromocytoma. In this study we demonstrate, three patients, that fraction total catecholamine level effluent represented by E (E fraction) may differentiate normal medulla from gland containing a This observation additionally supported calculations fractions, venous NE reported recently, other patients with Our data, combined those literature, yield mean fraction, blood, 63.8 +/- 11.4 (SD)% seven medullae, 28.5 4.8% five glands bearing The use parameter lateralizing pheochromocytoma suggested if procedures are unable demonstrate tumor.
