A case of fetal neuroblastoma of the right adrenal gland, with rapid development of hydrops fetalis due to catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy, is reported. A fetus with a right suprarenal mass ...

The goal of our study was to determine whether echocardiographic indices of myocardial performance were more impaired in infants who developed catecholamine-resistant hypotension than in those who ...

Catecholamines, like adrenaline and dopamine, are chemical messengers released in response to emotional or physical stress. Catecholamines prepare the body to take action. High or low levels can cause ...

PROMINENT among the symptoms of familial dysautonomia are the manifestations of autonomic dysfunction.1 A disturbance in catecholamine metabolism has been documented by the demonstration of high ho ...

Catecholamine levels are measured most often with a 24-hour urine collection rather than a blood test. The person will need to avoid the following foods for several days in preparation for their ...

CATECHOLAMINE-producing tumors arising from tissue outside the adrenal medulla have long been recognized as causes of sustained or paroxysmal hypertension. 1 Their origin has traditionally been ...

Catecholamines are hormones produced by the adrenal glands, which sit on top of the kidneys. Dopamine, epinephrine (adrenaline), and norepinephrine are the main catecholamines. Each of these ...

This discrepancy may be explained by the development of catecholamine resistance due to chronic sympathetic overactivation, leading to diminished physiological responses despite elevated NE levels.

An eight-marker urinary catecholamine panel was measured at standard treatment evaluation moments in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma. Our data showed that elevated catecholamine levels at CR ...

These cases serve as exemplars of the types of cardiac dysfunction that frequently accompany aneurysmal SAH (at our institution, we identified a 33% incidence of cardiac dysfunction following SAH ...
