Familial Hyperaldosteronism Type 2

FH2

FH-II may present either as an aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA; see this term), bilateral adrenal hyperaldosteronism (BAH), or both. Fatigue, and muscle weakness are reported. [orpha.net]

Figure 3 Multipoint analysis: the multipoint lod scores observed between the FH-II phenotype and markers from the 7p22 chromosomal region are presented on the X axis and the positions of marker loci on the Y axis. [jmg.bmj.com]

ANP (natriuresis & diuresis) (note NO escape from hypokalemia) Primary aldosterone secreting adrenal adenomas will present with eosinophilic inclusions knwon as ------------. [quizlet.com]

  • Resistant Hypertension

    In case of severe and/or resistant hypertension, additional antihypertensive medication is required. Prognosis With treatment prognosis is good. [orpha.net]

    FH-III has a wide phenotypic variability from spironolactone-responsive hyperaldosteronism to massive adrenal hypertrophy with drug-resistant hypertension. [karger.com]

    Patients with hypertension and hypokalaemia or resistant hypertension should be screened. If the ratio is 800 then patients should be investigated with further imaging to locate the source. [patient.info]

  • Fatigue

    Fatigue, and muscle weakness are reported. Complications due to hypertension, chronic increase of aldosterone secretion accompanied with sodium retention and hypokalemia (found in approximately 25% of patients) may occur. [orpha.net]

  • Long Arm

    arm of chromosome 8 was excluded from harbouring the disease locus. 13 Other loci harbouring potential candidate genes were also excluded, including that of the angiotensin II receptor type 1 gene. 15 For the purposes of the present study, we screened [jmg.bmj.com]

  • Short Arm

    Discussion FH-II is an inherited, non-glucocorticoid remediable form of hyperaldosteronism that was relatively recently recognised as a distinct entity. 5 12 The present study reports the identification of a locus for this condition on the short arm of [jmg.bmj.com]

  • Suggestibility

    All DNA samples, including the newly collected ones, were then used for examination of linkage between the disease and loci that produced suggestive lod scores in the genome wide search (see below). [jmg.bmj.com]

    It was found that the concentrations of sodium and potassium ions on the two sides of the membrane are interdependent, suggesting that the same carrier transports both ions. [wikivividly.com]

  • Headache

    Headaches and lethargy may also be present. Case finding - looking for primary hyperaldosteronism Establish whether the patient's blood pressure is under control and whether the treatment of their blood pressure been difficult. [patient.info]

    Primary aldosteronism occurs most commonly from the fourth decade onwards 3 and may be the result of an adrenal adenoma or bilateral adrenocortical hyperplasia. 4 5 Patients with familial hyperaldosteronism (FH) are usually detected at a younger age than [jmg.bmj.com]

Make the best clinical decisions with an enhanced emphasis on evidence-based practice and expert opinions on treatment strategies. Zero in on the most relevant and useful references with the aid of a more focused, concise bibliography. [books.google.com]

Management and treatment FH-II does not respond to glucocorticoid treatment. Adrenalectomy is performed in case of APA, and medical therapy with aldosterone antagonists in case of BAH. [orpha.net]

Prognosis With treatment prognosis is good. The cardiovascular morbidity of FH-II patients is increased compared to patients with essential hypertension. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]
