    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Sieben von 8 Patienten mit einem Phäochromocytom zeigten eine über die Norm erhöhte Plasma-Renin-Aktivität (〉3 ng/ml/3 h). Bei 4 der 7 Patienten mit Hyperreninismus konnte gleichzeitig auch ein abnorm hohes Plasma-Aldosteron nachgewiesen werden (〉120 pg/ml). Seitengetrennte Bestimmungen der Plasma-Renin-Aktivität im Nierenvenenblut zweier Patienten zeigten, daß als Ursachen des Hyperreninismus sowohl eine Verringerung der Nierendurchblutung durch Tumorkompression im Sinne eines Goldblattmechanismus als auch eine Stimulation der renalen Reninsekretion durch Katecholamine in Frage kommen können. Bei 2 unserer Patienten mit einem Phäochromocytom fand sich eine über die Norm gesteigerte Cortisolsekretion.
    Notes: Summary Seven of eight patients with pheochromocytoma showed elevated plasma renin activity (〉3 ng/ml/3 hr). Four of these seven patients simultaneously had abnormally high plasma aldosterone (〉120 pg/ml). It was found by selective determinations of plasma renin activity in both renal veins that two different mechanisms may be responsible for the observed hyperreninism. Firstly, the pheochromocytoma can lead mechanically to a reduction in renal blood flow inducing an increased renin secretion. Secondly, catecholamines are known to stimulate renin secretion. Two of the eight patients with pheochromocytoma showed an increased cortisol secretion.

    Notes: Abstract Since 1974 primary aldosteronism has been diagnosed in 71 patients in our outpatient clinic. Thirty-four patients had a unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma, whereas bilateral adrenal hyperplasia was diagnosed in 37 patients. Although at the time of diagnosis the mean potassium values were lower and mean aldosterone levels were higher in patients with an adenoma, as compared to those with bilateral hyperplasia, these laboratory data did not allow us to differentiate between the two leading causes of primary aldosteronism in the individual patient due to pronounced overlap of laboratory values between the two groups. During the first few years, a successful differential diagnosis was made by adrenal phlebography and separate sampling of plasma aldosterone in both adrenal veins; later non-invasive imaging techniques such as computed tomography and radionuclide scanning were used. The best results were obtained in patients with adenoma who underwent adrenalectomy. Fifty-six percent of these patients were clinically and biochemically cured; 28% were improved and had normal blood pressure values during drug treatment. In contrast, patients with bilateral hyperplasia were treated pharmacologically, but only in half of the patients could normal blood pressure values be achieved. Two thirds of the male patients developed gynecomastia during spironolactone treatment. As expected, unilateral adrenalectomy was unsuccessful in the 7 patients with bilateral hyperplasia who underwent surgery. Our results confirm that surgical treatment of adrenal adenomas and drug treatment of bilateral hyperplasias are the appropriate therapy in primary aldosteronism. A differential diagnosis cannot be made on the basis of clinical and non-invasive laboratory data alone; imaging techniques have to be included in the diagnostic process. The long-term clinical outcome was more favorable in patients with an adrenal adenoma that can be removed surgically than in patients with idiopathic hyperplasia of both adrenal glands.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Ein Radioimmunoassay für Angiotensin I und seine Anwendung für die Messung der Reninkonzentration im Plasma werden beschrieben. Die zur Herstellung von Angiotensinantikörpern und radioaktiv markiertem Angiotensin sowie zur Trennung von gebundenem und freiem Hormon benutzten Verfahren werden mitgeteilt. Die Empfindlichkeit der Methode erlaubt den Nachweis von zwanzig Pikogramm Angiotensin I. Zur Messung der Reninkonzentration wurde substratfreies Plasma mit Schafsubstrat im Überschuß versetzt und in Anwesenheit von Inhibitoren von „converting enzyme“ und Angiotensinasen bei 37°C inkubiert. Das gebildete Angiotensin wurde in 20 µl des proteinfreien Inkubationsgemisches bestimmt. Die initiale Geschwindigkeit der Angiotensinbildung wurde zur Berechnung der Reninkonzentration herangezogen. Als eine Einheit wurde die Reninmenge definiert, die ein Nanogramm Angiotensin I pro Stunde Inkubation bildet. Normalwerte unter kontrollierter natriumreicher und natriumarmer Diät wurden ermittelt. Die Empfindlichkeit der Methode erlaubt die Messung der Reninkonzentration im Plasma von Patienten mit primärem Aldosteronismus.
    Notes: Summary A radioimmunoassay for angiotensin I and its application to the measurement of plasma renin concentration are described. Outlined are the methods which were used to elicite antibodies against angiotensin I, to iodinate angiotensin I with iodine125, and to separate free from antibody-bound hormone. The method is sensitive enough to detect 20 picogrammes of angiotensin I. Substrate-free plasma was mixed with excess of sheep substrate. The mixture was incubated at 37°C in the presence of inhibitors of converting enzyme and angiotensinases. The generated angiotensin I was measured in 20 µl of the protein-free incubation mixture. The initial velocity of angiotensin generation was used to calculate the renin concentration. One unit was defined as the amount of renin which generates one nanogram of angiotensin per hour. Normal values of plasma renin concentration were obtained both during sodium loading and sodium depletion. The sensitivity of the method allows the measurement of plasma renin in patients with primary aldosteronism.
