[Supra-renal venography in patients with suspected endocrine hypertension (author's transl)].
In forty patients suspected clinically of having an endocrine cause for hypertension, an adrenal cortical adenoma was confirmed histologically in five. Hyperaldosteronism with enlarged or normal adrenals was demonstrated in three patients. The diagnosis in a further eight patients with an abnormal hormone pattern and/or an abnormal venogram has not yet been confirmed. Adrenal glands show considerable variation in their size, shape and localisation on venography.
