The diagnosis of pheochromocytoma is established more frequently in recent years due to better diagnostic possibilities. The aim of this study was to determine whether it is possible to distinguish the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma from mild, moderate and severe hypertension by analysis of symptoms and signs of pheochromocytoma using mathematical methods such as the pattern recognizing procedure before investigation of catecholamines in serum and urine. We retrospectively analysed the presence or absence of 45 symptoms and signs of pheochromocytoma except for investigation of catecholamines in 20 randomly selected patients with mild hypertension (HT), 20 patients with moderate HT, 20 patients with severe HT, and 20 patients with known pheochromocytoma. This procedure improved screening of pheochromocytoma and allowed early detection of the disease on a large scale.
近年来，由于诊断方法的改进，嗜铬细胞瘤的诊断更为常见。本研究的目的是确定在检测血清和尿液中的儿茶酚胺之前，通过使用模式识别程序等数学方法分析嗜铬细胞瘤的症状和体征，是否有可能将嗜铬细胞瘤的诊断与轻度、中度和重度高血压区分开来。我们回顾性分析了20例随机选择的轻度高血压（HT）患者、20例中度HT患者、20例重度HT患者和20例已知嗜铬细胞瘤患者中，除儿茶酚胺检测外的45种嗜铬细胞瘤症状和体征的有无。该程序改进了嗜铬细胞瘤的筛查，并有助于大规模早期发现该疾病。
