Frequent failure of adrenal vein (AV) cannulation is a major obstacle to the universal use of adrenal vein sampling (AVS) for subtyping primary aldosteronism (PA). This study aimed to confirm and modify the value of a previously reported AVS parameter for PA subtyping in the case of cannulation failure on one side.
Successfully catheterized AVS studies in 157 patients (121 patients as a derivation cohort and 36 patients as a validation cohort) from two tertiary hospitals were retrospectively reviewed. The AV/inferior vena cava (IVC) index was defined by dividing the aldosterone/cortisol ratio (ACR) of AV by the ACR of the IVC. Cutoff values for lateralized PA were obtained from two methods: scatterplots and the values corresponding to Youden's index in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, on the assumption of catheterization failure on one side.
Due to multiple samplings in a single AVS procedure, 252 left AV/IVC ratios (LIRs) and 272 right AV/IVC ratios (RIRs) were calculated. of LIR >5.4 or <0.5 predicted unilateral PA with a sensitivity of 42.1% and a specificity of 98.6%. of RIR <0.5 or >7.0 showed a sensitivity of 55.1% and a specificity of 98.6%. of LIR ⩽0.8 or >3.1 predicted unilateral PA with a sensitivity of 82.5% and a specificity of 69.6%. of RIR ⩽0.8 or >3.9 resulted in 87.4% sensitivity and 80.7% specificity.
In the case of unilateral AVS failure, the AV/IVC index may help in diagnosing PA subtype.
肾上腺静脉(AV)插管频繁失败是原发性醛固酮增多症(PA)亚型分型中肾上腺静脉采样(AVS)广泛应用的主要障碍。本研究旨在确认并修正先前报道的AVS参数在一侧插管失败情况下对PA亚型分型的价值。
回顾性分析了来自两家三级医院的157例患者(推导队列121例,验证队列36例)成功进行导管插入术的AVS研究。AV/下腔静脉(IVC)指数定义为AV的醛固酮/皮质醇比值(ACR)除以IVC的ACR。假设一侧插管失败,通过两种方法获得单侧PA的临界值:散点图法和受试者操作特征(ROC)曲线中与约登指数对应的数值。
由于在单次AVS操作中进行了多次采样,计算出252个左AV/IVC比值(LIR)和272个右AV/IVC比值(RIR)。LIR>5.4或<0.5预测单侧PA的敏感性为42.1%,特异性为98.6%。RIR<0.5或>7.0的敏感性为55.1%,特异性为98.6%。LIR≤0.8或>3.1预测单侧PA的敏感性为82.5%,特异性为69.6%。RIR≤0.8或>3.9的敏感性为87.4%,特异性为80.7%。
在单侧AVS失败的情况下,AV/IVC指数可能有助于诊断PA亚型。
