Renovascular hypertension associated with bilateral aldosteronoma.

The authors present a 35-year-old male patient with renovascular hypertension caused by the stenosis of both renal arteries of the right kidney. Two years after the diagnosis of hypertension was made, an endarterectomy was performed but a successful correction of the upper stenotic artery was not achieved. During the next 2 years the hypertensive disease was uncontrollable with antihypertensive medications and gradually entered into a malignant phase. In addition to the atrophy of the right kidney, an adenoma of the left adrenal gland was revealed (19.75 g) which was operated on. Left adrenalectomy had only a transitory benefit on blood pressure level. Five months later an adenoma of the right adrenal gland was diagnosed and together with the ischaemic right kidney was operated on (right adrenalectomy and nephrectomy) which definitely cured the hypertension. The chronological sequence of events and the course of the disease in the patient point to the possibility that long-standing hyper-reninaemia, due to renal ischaemia, may cause the development of multiple bilateral adrenocortical adenomas and that secondary aldosteronism may transform into primary.

Testosterone levels after bromocriptine treatment in patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis.

Seventeen out of 34 male patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis had increased basal plasma prolactin levels (mean = 1344 +/- 1158.76 mU/L). Seven of these 17 patients having the greatest degree of erectile impotence were treated with 3.5 to 7.5 mg/day of bromocriptine. After a 4-week treatment period, basal plasma prolactin levels in all seven patients were within normal limits (mean = 210.2 +/- 66.97 mU/L). The treated patients reported an improvement in both libido and potency. At the same time, an increase in plasma testosterone levels was observed, while plasma LH and FSH levels were essentially unchanged.

Immunoglobulin levels in seminal plasma of oligospermic patients.

The levels of immunoglobulins in the seminal plasma of healthy males were compared with those of oligospermic patients. The results show markedly increased levels of IgG in oligospermic patients. The presence of IgM, which has not been detected in the seminal plasma of healthy males, was estimated in some of the oligospermic patients. The authors recommend this simple screening test to be carried out in every male infertility follow up.
