Objective: The assessment of primary aldosteronism incorporates adrenal vein sampling (AVS) to lateralize aldosterone excess. Current adrenal vein sampling protocols rely on concurrent cortisol measurements to assess successful cannulation and lateralization and may be inaccurate in the setting of autonomous cortisol secretion. We aimed to compare the measurement of plasma cortisol and metanephrine concentrations to assess cannulation and lateralization during AVS.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to clinically validate cutoff values for newborn screening using tandem mass spectrometry by collaborating globally.
  • Researchers analyzed data from about 25-30 million normal newborns and over 10,700 true positive cases to establish clinically significant cutoff ranges.
  • As of December 2010, data from 130 sites in 45 countries contributed to defining cutoff ranges for 114 markers, showcasing a high level of international cooperation in screening for rare metabolic disorders.
