Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how respiratory movements affect the positioning of the right adrenal vein (RAV) in order to improve the accuracy of adrenal venous sampling (AVS) for diagnosing primary aldosteronism.
- - CT scans taken at different respiratory phases (inhalation vs. exhalation) were analyzed alongside venograms of the RAV to measure variations in its location, particularly in relation to the thoracic vertebrae.
- - Findings revealed significant differences in the RAV's measured distances and angles between the two respiratory phases, indicating that the timing of CT scanning is critical for accurately locating the RAV during procedures.
Introduction: It remains unclear whether increased perirenal fat (PRF) accumulation is equally related to renal involvement in patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM). We evaluated the association between PRF volume (PRFV) and low glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and proteinuria in people with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Research Design And Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 473 individuals without T2DM (non-DM, n=202) and with T2DM (DM, n=271).
